Types of business loans in Houston.

There is no shortage of small business loans in Houston, making it important to shop around and explore all your options. Here’s a closer look at some of the most popular loans you might want to consider.

SBA loans

SBA loans are business loans that are partially backed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), a federal agency. These loans are serviced by private lenders, but are popular because they generally have good interest rates.

Line of credit

Use a line of credit as a flexible form of financing. Unlike with a loan, this option does not involve a big disbursement upfront that you must repay, providing a flexibility that better fits many entrepreneurs’ needs.

Term loan

Term loans are common small business loans in which you would apply for a large disbursement of capital and then repays it over several years, along with fixed or variable interest.

Equipment finance

With equipment financing, you receive a piece of equipment and then pay off the cost of the equipment in installments. This way, your business can make money off the equipment immediately, even if you don’t have the funds to buy it at the sticker price.

Accounts receivable financing

Accounts receivable financing is an alternative form of business financing in which your unpaid invoices serve as collateral for a lump disbursement of funds.
