Short-Term Business Loans for Small Businesses

Fast, Targeted Capital to Seize Opportunities and Solve Urgencies

In business, timing is everything. When opportunity knocks or unexpected costs arise, the last thing you need is to wait weeks—or months—for a decision from a traditional lender. That’s where short-term business loans for small businesses come in.

At Business First Funding, we specialize in helping business owners access fast, flexible capital with repayment terms designed for speed and efficiency. Whether you’re managing an urgent repair, purchasing time-sensitive inventory, or ramping up for a new client contract, our short-term funding solutions are built for real-world momentum.

What Is a Short-Term Business Loan?

A short-term business loan is a fixed-sum loan repaid over a short period—usually between 3 to 18 months. It provides immediate working capital with a predictable repayment schedule, often through daily, weekly, or monthly payments.

Use it for:

  • Urgent equipment repairs or replacements

  • Seasonal inventory buys

  • Bridging cash flow between accounts receivable

  • Marketing campaign launches

  • Emergency payroll or utilities

It’s an ideal solution when you expect to see a quick return on investment or when access to capital is more important than long-term terms.

Why Traditional Working Capital Solutions Fall Short

Most banks require perfect credit, multiple years of financials, and long underwriting processes. But small businesses often:

Don’t have years of financial statements

Face seasonal income swings

Need capital now, not next month

Worse, when funding is approved, the terms may be too rigid to match your reality. At Business First Funding, we take a different approach.

We evaluate your business—not just your credit score.

Our process is streamlined, inclusive, and built around what makes small businesses successful: adaptability, momentum, and grit.

Who Should Consider a Short-Term Business Loan?

This option works well for:

Businesses with consistent revenue

Companies that need fast access to capital

Owners who prefer structured, fixed repayments

Entrepreneurs managing rapid growth or unexpected expenses

Industries that benefit include:

Retail & eCommerce – inventory needs or vendor payments

Professional Services – bridge client billing gaps

Construction – job startup costs

Healthcare – replacing medical tools or hiring staff

Example Scenario

A boutique marketing agency lands a large client contract that requires up-front investment in freelance support, ad spend, and software tools. A short-term loan delivers $40,000 within 48 hours. The agency uses the capital to execute the campaign, gets paid within 60 days, and repays the loan in 6 months—all while growing its client portfolio.

Loan Amounts and Terms

  • Loan Size: $5,000 to $500,000

  • Repayment: Fixed daily, weekly, or monthly payments

  • Terms: 3 to 18 months

These loans are unsecured, meaning no collateral is required. Decisions are based on business performance, cash flow, and bank history—not just credit scores.

What You Need to Apply

We’ve stripped the complexity out of the application process:

  • Completed application

  • 3–6 months of business bank statements

  • Basic business details (EIN, time in business, monthly revenue)

No business plans, tax returns, or extensive documentation required. Our process is designed to move fast.

Straight answers. Zero fluff.
