Loan Types / Specialty Financing
Specialty financing for specific business needs
Some business needs are better served by a targeted financing product instead of a general-purpose term loan. Compare equipment financing, working capital loans, lines of credit, and inventory loans.
● Need-based routing ● Product-specific lender fit ● Compare total cost and flexibility
Decision shortcut
Start with the funding purpose
If the need is specific — equipment, inventory, recurring cash flow, or working capital — a specialty product may fit better than a broad business loan.

Recurring cash-flow gaps?
Start with a Business Line of Credit when cash needs are ongoing or unpredictable.

How to compare
Specialty financing should solve a specific problem
The best specialty product usually depends on what the money will do. Financing equipment, covering payroll, buying inventory, and managing cash-flow gaps are different use cases — and they can point to different products.
Compare total cost, payment frequency, collateral requirements, draw flexibility, and whether the financing structure matches the life of the business need.
Match term to need
Short needs usually should not create long-term debt without a reason.

Specialty financing FAQ
Questions to answer before choosing a product
Is specialty financing better than a term loan?
Sometimes. If the funding need is tied to a specific asset, inventory purchase, or recurring cash-flow pattern, a specialty product may fit better.
Can I compare multiple product types?
Yes. Business owners should compare eligibility, cost, repayment, flexibility, and funding speed before choosing a path.
Will the asset secure the financing?
It may, especially with equipment financing or inventory-related products. Terms depend on the lender and collateral quality.
