What Is a Business Line of Credit?
A business line of credit is a flexible financing tool that gives you access to a pool of funds you can draw from as needed - similar to a credit card but typically with higher limits and lower rates. You only pay interest on what you use, and as you repay, the credit becomes available again.
Key Takeaway: For startups, a business line of credit is often the fastest path to substantial capital. With the right strategy, you can access $50K-$250K at 0% introductory interest rates using business credit cards and credit lines stacked together.
Types of Business Lines of Credit
1. Business Credit Cards (0% Intro APR)
The most accessible option for startups. Multiple 0% APR business credit cards can be strategically stacked to create a $50K-$150K credit line at zero interest for 12-21 months.
- Credit Needed: 680+ personal score
- Funding Speed: 7-14 days
- Best For: Startups needing flexible capital without collateral
2. Traditional Business Lines of Credit
Banks and online lenders offer revolving credit lines typically ranging from $10K-$250K with variable interest rates.
- Credit Needed: 650+ with 1+ year in business
- Interest Rates: 8-24% variable
- Best For: Established businesses with revenue history
3. SBA CAPLines
The SBA offers four types of revolving credit lines through approved lenders, with government backing that helps startups qualify.
- Maximum Amount: $5 million
- Interest Rates: Prime + 2-5%
- Best For: Businesses needing larger credit lines for contracts or seasonal needs

- EIN: Required (free from IRS)
- Business Bank Account: Required
- Income: Some form of personal or business income

How to Maximize Your Approval Amount
- Keep utilization under 10% before applying
- Don't apply for other credit 90 days before your funding round
- Have a business website - some issuers verify this
- Report higher revenue if your business earns it (projections may be acceptable for new businesses)
- Start with the most generous issuers - Chase, Amex, and Capital One tend to give the highest limits
Business Line of Credit vs. Business Loan
Choose a line of credit if: You need ongoing access to capital, want to pay interest only on what you use, and value flexibility over a fixed lump sum.
Choose a business loan if: You need a specific amount for a one-time expense, prefer fixed monthly payments, and want a clear payoff date.
