FAQs
Find answers to some commonly asked questions in the E-commerce industry.
What is e-commerce financing?
Ecommerce businesses can acquire financing in a range of structures, from fixed rate loans to revenue-based financing. Applying through Lendio gives you the ability to compare multiple options in one place. We also work with many lenders who specialize in ecommerce businesses, including Amazon sellers.
What are the requirements to get e-commerce financing?
It depends on the type of financing. At Lendio, applicants should meet the following minimum requirements:
- $8,000 in monthly revenue
- At least two years time in business
- Credit score of at least 680
What can I use e-commerce financing for?
Most types of ecommerce financing don’t have any restrictions on how the funds may be used. Borrowed money from revenue-based financing, term loans, and lines of credit can be used however you see fit for things like marketing, inventory, software, or payroll. Equipment financing, however, typically needs to be used for whatever asset you’re purchasing with the loan funds.
What are the benefits of online business loans?
With a lender marketplace like Lendio, you can compare multiple offers and financing structures with just one form. You also don’t have to wait weeks for a funding decision, allowing you to make plans for the near-term with accurate financial information. Instead, you can get the ball rolling as soon as you pick the best lender for your needs and sign your new loan agreement.
What is an SBA loan?
An SBA loan—or Small Business Administration loan—is made by a private lender, but guaranteed by the federal government. Although the application and approval processes are slower, your ecommerce business could benefit from the lower rates and less restrictive approval requirements that SBA loans are known for.
What are the different types of SBA loans?
There are three common SBA loan types for small businesses, all of which could be utilized in the ecommerce industry. The first option is the 7(a) program, which provides funding for working capital, debt refinance, and asset purchases. Next up is the 504 program, designed to purchase fixed assets like warehouse space or machinery. Finally, the SBA microloan program offers smaller loans up to $50,000 for less established businesses.
