The basics
What a short-term loan actually is
A short-term loan works like a term loan over a shorter payback period. It is built for the things with a date on them: an unexpected cost, a slow season, a short project that pays for itself before the loan is done.
Being in a hurry is exactly when the wrong facility gets signed, so a specialist goes through what came back with you before anything is accepted.
- Funded in days, not weeks.
- Approvals in 24–48 hours in most cases.
- Fixed schedule.
- You know the last payment date on the first day.
- No hard credit pull to start.
- Finding out what you qualify for costs nothing.

- CreditConsidered, but not the deciding factor on its own.
Good to know
The upside

Questions
Short-Term Loan, answered
Still deciding? Call (844) 312-1444 and a specialist will talk it through.
How short is short-term?
Up to 24 months, and often less. The term is set in the offer before you sign.
Do I need collateral?
Many short-term offers are unsecured, though some lenders ask for a personal guarantee. Each offer says what it requires.
Can I qualify with bad credit?
Possibly. Lenders weigh recent revenue heavily, and the network includes programs from a 500 FICO.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
No. Checking your options uses a soft pull, which does not affect your score. A hard pull only happens if you choose to go ahead with a specific offer, and only with your permission.
