What Is a Commercial Business Loan in Springfield, OH?
A commercial business loan is any loan made to a business for a business purpose, as opposed to a consumer loan. It covers term loans, lines of credit, equipment loans and inventory financing. Commercial real estate loans are a separate category that this site does not arrange.
Are Merchant Cash Advances a Good Idea for a Clark County, OH Business?
An advance can serve a business with steady card sales, a short need and no loan on offer. It is not a loan; it is a purchase of future receipts, and its cost should be compared in dollars with any loan for the same amount. Add up the total to be remitted, check whether the daily or weekly debit adjusts if sales slow, and compare with any loan offer. The merchant cash advance page explains.
