3 things to have ready before you apply for a business line of credit:

1️⃣ Your last 3 months of bank statements
2️⃣ A clear number for how much you actually need (not a guess)
3️⃣ Your EIN and basic entity info

That's it. Some of our approvals happen the same day you apply.

The Fed held interest rates steady again this year, good news if you've been sitting on expansion plans. But "steady" doesn't mean "low." Bank loan rates are still running 6–11% on average, and online lenders can push past 40% APR depending on your profile.

If a lender quoted you a rate that made your stomach drop, it might be time to look at other options. A working capital line of credit gives you flexible access to funds without locking you into one big loan at a rate you're stuck with.

Canada just announced counter-tariffs on over 700 U.S. products. They take effect September 8.

That is less than two weeks away.

The U.S. imposed 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods last Saturday. Canada responded Monday with tariffs ranging from 15 to 50 percent on $27.6 billion worth of American imports, targeting steel, dairy, appliances, electronics, agricultural equipment, and more.

For established small business owners, this is a material change to your cost structure arriving on a specific, known date. The businesses that move now have time to adapt.

We broke down exactly what this means, which industries are most exposed, and the steps to take before the deadline hits.
