Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical business line of credit rate?

Most bank lines of credit are tied to Prime rate. As of 2026, expect Prime + 1–3% for strong borrowers (roughly 8.5–10.5%). Online lenders (BlueVine, Fundbox) charge more — typically 15–40% APR for newer businesses.

Should I pay off my line of credit before applying for a term loan?

Not necessarily — but you should understand how it affects your DSCR. A large outstanding line balance with a high monthly minimum payment will reduce your debt service coverage. Run the DSCR calculator with your current line payment included.
