If you’re looking for the best business loan program in the Sooner State, here are your top six choices:

Business Lines of Credit

With a business line of credit, businesses are given a credit line they can tap into if the need arises (e.g., during emergencies or unforeseen expenses). Since it’s a revolving credit, the business can draw, payback, and access the funds again as necessary.  Like credit cards, the credit line has a limit the business cannot exceed.

Once approved, businesses can get continuous access to as much as $5 million in funding. They can use the proceeds to pay their staff, rent, utilities, buy/lease equipment, cover operational expenses, and more.

SBA 7(a) Loans

The Small Business Administration (SBA) offers government-backed loans called SBA 7(a) loans with an affordable rate, higher loan amounts, and longer repayment periods. With it, SMEs can take up to $5 million in funding, which they can put towards any business needs. It could be acquiring commercial real estate, equipment, construction, etc. The SBA 7(a) loan has a 25-year maximum repayment period.

However, the SBA loan process is notorious for being document-intensive and lengthy. It’s also one of the most difficult to qualify for as it usually requires businesses to have a good credit score, solid financials, and at least two years in business.

Equipment Financing

Businesses often need equipment to provide quality services to their customers. However, equipment purchases can be expensive. Equipment financing allows businesses to finance costly machines, tools, and supplies, so they won’t have to pay for them upfront and potentially cause a strain on their cash flow.

Once you get approved for equipment financing, AB Funding can fund 100% of the total cost of the equipment. It will also serve as collateral for the loan. If you default on the payments, the equipment will be repossessed and used for the remaining loan balance.

Invoice Financing

Invoice financing (also called accounts receivable financing) allows businesses to advance the money owed to them by their clients. Instead of waiting 30 to 90 days for clients to pay you, invoice financing companies will advance a portion (up to 95%) of the invoices’ value to you so that you can meet your financial obligations on time.

Once the invoice term is up, the customers must settle their balance directly with the financing institution. After the invoices have been paid, the financing company will deduct the advanced amount, plus fees, and transfer the remaining money back to you.

Inventory Financing

Inventory financing makes use of the company’s inventory to secure much-needed funding. Once approved, AB Funding can extend credit up to 65% of the inventory’s total value. Since the inventory is the collateral, the business would have to give it up if they fail to make the required weekly or monthly repayments.

Inventory financing also provides spending flexibility to businesses. With the proceeds, the company can boost its cash flow, cover seasonal cash flow gaps, pay employees, and reorder additional inventory.

Most small business lenders prefer lending to businesses with an established track record. These businesses are more likely to have a high credit score, solid financial track record, and at least two years of business history. With that, banks and other lenders are more confident they can repay the credit.

At AB Funding, applicants must have a credit score of at least 650, at least one year of business history (or two years for SBA loans), and at least $20,000 monthly revenue to qualify for business loans with excellent terms.

There are also business financing options available for businesses with lower credit scores. For instance, invoice financing doesn’t necessarily look at the business’ credit score. Instead, they will look at the borrowing company’s clients’ credit scores to determine the invoices’ eligibility for funding. They may also qualify for a business line of credit. But since they’re riskier, the rates tend to be higher, so it’s also worth considering that.

Innovation and Technology

Sufficient funding is essential for innovation and technology businesses in Oklahoma because the equipment and materials associated with their line of work can be expensive. On top of everything, they need to ensure they pay their employees on time. But because of their high-risk nature, technology businesses often struggle to secure financing for their operations.

AB Funding recognizes business owners in the industry face financing struggles. With that, we’ve developed different solutions to help you access extra capital to grow, expand, and take your business to greater heights.

Oil and Energy

Oklahoma is known for its abundant oil and gas supply, which is why many of the largest oil are headquartered in the state. Despite its success in this aspect, the industry continues to grow rapidly, opening many opportunities for smaller businesses. With that, they may need extra capital to grab the opportunity and allow their business to grow.

With the right financing option, businesses can use extra capital to purchase equipment, cover operating costs, sign partnerships, acquire companies, and more. With steady cash flow, there’s no limit to what your business can achieve.

Transportation and Logistics

With access to three major highways in the United States, namely I-40, I-35, and I-44, it’s no wonder many are keen on entering the transportation and logistics in Oklahoma.

But like other businesses, running a transportation and logistics business entails higher costs. Entrepreneurs must explore the different financing options best suited to transportation and logistics companies to keep up. AB Funding offers many loan options to help these businesses address almost any business need.
