Business Line of Credit*

A revolving line of credit gives you peace of mind in the form of additional working capital for your business. The funds are available when you need them. Use the money to buy inventory, cover unexpected expenses, seasonal cash flow, or to bridge the gap between monthly payables and receivables. Best of all, with a revolving line of credit, as soon as you repay the balance, you can borrow up to the credit limit again without applying for another loan.

  • Line of credit from $10,000 to $100,000
  • Variable rate based on Wall Street Journal Prime
  • Term: Open line of credit
  • Monthly interest payments with principal due on demand
  • Access your money when you need it—online with Online Banking, by phone, or at any First Interstate branch

*Loans are subject to credit approval. Some restrictions and loan fees may apply.

Unsecured lines of credit offer a faster approval process because proof of collateral is not required. If your business needs immediate funding and does not already have a revolving line of credit, an unsecured line of credit is the quickest option for credit access. Secured loans are backed by pledged assets that decrease the risk of lending for a bank. Because there is no collateral, unsecured loans typically have higher interest rates and require a higher credit score.
A revolving line of credit means your business can access money whenever you need it—with no pay-down requirement—and continue to use the money after the initial draw. The funds may be paid back at any time, and you can only borrow up to the predetermined line of credit limit. Once the limit is reached and the funds are paid back, you may continue to draw from the line and continue the cycle as often as necessary.

A business line of credit allows you to draw from the line as needed, helping improve cash flow and short-term working capital when your business faces unforeseen opportunities and expenses. Advantages include:

  • Immediate access to funds
  • Increased business flexibility
  • Only paying on the outstanding balance, as opposed to the entire line amount

There are many ways you can use a business revolving line of credit to take advantage of growth opportunities and support operating expenses. Examples include:

  • Small remodeling, renovating, or expansion business projects
  • Paying off or paying down credit cards or cash advances
  • Offsetting unexpected expenses and situations
  • Purchasing inventory or other assets
  • Securing unexpected growth or investment opportunities
