Find the right program for your situation
How to choose between programs
- Match the term to the use. Short-term needs such as payroll or inventory fit short-term funding; long-lived assets fit longer loans.
- Weigh speed against cost. SBA and bank-style loans usually cost the least but take longer; merchant cash advances are fastest and usually cost the most.
- Compare total cost, not just the payment. Use the loan, MCA, and line of credit calculator to compare offers in dollars and estimated APR.
- Know your state's rules. Some states require specific disclosures on MCA offers; see merchant cash advances by state.
- Read the guide that fits. The 7 types of business loans explains each option in depth.

Frequently asked questions
Q01What funding programs does SmallByzLoans offer?
Merchant cash advances, working capital loans, business term loans, lines of credit, equipment financing, accounts receivable financing, SBA loans, and commercial real estate financing. SmallByzLoans is a marketplace: we match you with funding providers, and each provider makes its own decision.
Q02Which business funding program is easiest to qualify for?
Revenue-based programs such as merchant cash advances and many working capital loans are generally the most accessible, and equipment financing is easier because the equipment secures it. Easier approval usually means a higher cost, and no program guarantees approval.
Q03Which business funding program costs the least?
For qualified businesses, SBA loans and bank-style term loans usually cost the least, followed by other term loans and lines of credit. Merchant cash advances are typically the most expensive.
Q04Can I apply for more than one program?
You start with one short form. A specialist reviews your profile against every program and tells you which ones fit, so you don't need to apply separately for each.
Q05Does checking my options affect my credit?
The short form uses a soft check only. A funding provider may run its own credit check later, during underwriting.
