What are Short Term Loans?

Short-term business loans or cash advances are lump sum loans that are designed to be paid back over a set time frame at a set cost in less than 18 months.  Short term capital financing can be structured as a purchase and sale of future receivables with a factor rate or as a business loan with an interest rate. 

Short term loans can be a flexible financial vehicle and can be used for financing short-term working capital needs—including but not limited to payroll, managing cash flow, dealing with unexpected needs for extra cash, bridging larger financing options, paying off debt, business working capital, business expansion or capitalizing on unforeseen business opportunities.

How do Short Term Loans work?

A short term loan is like the Swiss Army Knife of loans – it’s handy, flexible, and able to get you out of a bind. You can use it to cover unexpected costs, survive a slump, finance a short term project, or even capitalize on a new business opportunity. It’s definitely the loan you want in your back pocket.

It’s pretty simple, you borrow a lump sum of money over a short term, typically under 2 years.  With a fixed interest rate, you pay back the loan in daily, weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly payment installments.  Once the loan is paid 50% in, most short term funders will allow you to borrow additional funds.  

Who Qualifies for a Short Term Loan ?

Here’s the low-down on qualifying:

Short-term business funders emphasize cash-flow in the business bank account more than funders of traditional term loans. Strong cash-flow can sometimes overcome other applicant information that would disqualify a business for a traditional term loan such as credit.

Understand that the interest rate or factor rate you’ll pay and the amount of capital you qualify for will be based on your average monthly business revenue, time in business, industry, business payment history, and personal/business credit rating.  For questions, regarding if you qualify for a short term loan please contact us, and we will give you a dedicated short-term business loan expert to answer all your questions.

Working with Mike Kowal was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. He was personable, highly responsive, and consistently communicative, taking the time to educate me throughout the entire process so I fully understood what was happening at every step.

What truly set Mike apart was his honesty. He reviewed multiple lender options with me in a fair, transparent way, walking me through the pros and cons of each and helping me understand every angle. He encouraged me to move forward only with what felt right for my business, never once making me feel pressured to choose him or Upwise. That level of professionalism is rare.

Mike also worked hard to build genuine personal rapport — something no other representative I spoke with did. He took the time to understand my business, explored different paths, and made sure I felt confident and comfortable throughout the decision-making process.

The follow-up from Mike and every member of his team has been above and beyond anything I’ve experienced with other lenders. Every interaction feels thoughtful, client-focused, supportive and most important- genuine. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and would confidently recommend Mike to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, ethical, and truly client-first lending partner.

I was able to secure a business loan in an industry that typically has a hard time getting approved. Craig and the team at Upwise made it happen from start to finish. Professional, responsive, and results-driven. A+ experience all around!
Upwise Capital and Daniel Joseph were great in helping me obtain financing and grow my janitorial business. Mr. Joseph is quick, efficient and professional. Funding was complete in just a few hours. Daniel is very detailed and easy to work with. He stuck with me from beginning to end. Thank you Upwise Capital and Daniel for helping to expand my business. I appreciate all your help.
The rates for loans are horrible, and if you disagree with them, they get angry and hang up on you lol. It is clear they are in business to get the best deal for themselves, not the customer. Leo Lamb, one of their funding managers comes across like a used car salesman. When I called them out for their shady practices, he got very aggravated.

Update: Leo contacted me, and after basically insulting me concerning their prior behavior, I decided to let them run my application. After being ghosted for the day, they finally came back and denied due to another loan my business was involved in. These people get their feelings hurt way to easy to be in this business. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

We worked with Leo for our line of credit. We are a trucking company an can be a challenge to secure financing. The process was smooth and fast funding. Our only complaint would be that Leo was a little impatience when it came to our decision making. We are very thankful for the funding and would do business with them again. Thanks,
Upwise

You are always hesitant when working with a finance firm to borrow money to grow your company But, I highly recommend Upwise Capital. Lou and Marc went out of their way to ensure everything was taken care of. Very professional in all steps taken to secure the financing I needed. I look forward to continuing the business relationship.
I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Leo was absolutely. Leo was patient, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. During a hectic work week he continued to bare with me to be sure that i had all the information I was requesting. He got me the capital I needed within one day. I highly recommend this company!

What do Small Business Short Term Loans cost?

Short-term business loans are paid off quickly, most often with daily or weekly payments.

Where you source the capital, will determine your cost.  Make the Wise decision with Upwise.  

Short-term loans also often come with factor rates instead of interest rates: a factor rate is a number that, when multiplied by your total loan amount, gives you how much you’ll be paying back.

A factor rate is a set cost of capital of the given term approved by the short term loan funder such as Upwise.

See the below example of a sample Upwise short term advance.  

Short-Term Business Loans & Factor Rates

Some funders will structure the contract as a purchase and sale of your future receivables..  

Say you’ve taken out a $100K short-term business loan and the Upwise offer has a 1. 18 factor rate.

1.18 multiplied by $100K will determine the total amount you’ll need to pay back to maturity =  $118K.

For this specific customer, underwriting approved this file for a 12 month term, which is a common approved term amongst small business owners searching for short term business loans.

Given that there are 21 payment days or business days in a month, since payments are taken Monday through Friday, never on weekends or holidays.  That equals 252 payments per year on a daily payment program. 

To calculate your payment, divide the number of payments (252) by the total payback to maturity $118k.

The amount of each of those business day payments would be $486.25.  

Payments are broken down into micro daily or weekly payments.  You’re paying a higher rate than a longer term loan for the quick and easy approval and funding process.
