A $400k SME loan can come in several forms, including term loans (lump-sum with set repayments), business lines of credit (flexible, revolving funds), SBA loans (government-backed, favorable rates), equipment financing (loans for machinery or vehicles), and merchant cash advances (repaid from daily sales). Each type serves different business needs.
Common Uses of the Loan
Businesses typically use $400k loans for working capital (covering ongoing expenses), equipment purchases, inventory, business expansion, payroll, property acquisition, or to cover cash flow gaps. The specific use often determines the type of loan chosen.
Repayment Structures and Requirements
Repayment can be through fixed monthly payments (term loans), flexible payments on used amounts (lines of credit), or variable repayments based on sales (merchant cash advance). Lenders usually require good credit, several years in business, and proof of steady revenue. Some loans need collateral or a personal guarantee.
