Funds on standby instead of a single lump sum

A business line of credit lets you draw what you need, when you need it, up to an approved limit. For many Portland owners that is a better match than a one-time lump sum, because expenses do not arrive on a neat schedule. A roof leak during a January storm, a large catering order, a supplier offering a discount for paying early: a line lets you respond without starting a new application each time.

Where a line earns its keep

Seasonal swings

Portland's wet winters and busy summers create uneven months for restaurants, landscapers, outdoor outfitters and event businesses. A line can smooth those months out.

Project-based work

Contractors, agencies and production companies often front costs before a client pays. Drawing on a line covers materials and labor in the meantime.

Opportunities

When a bulk inventory deal shows up, having funds ready can make the difference.

Applying with Merchant Fund Express

The application takes about five minutes and starts with a soft credit pull. We review roughly three months of business bank statements and do not require tax returns. FICO 500 and up is considered, and sole proprietors can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, with funds available in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

If you need one larger amount instead, look at working capital loans in Portland. Outside the city, see our Oregon line of credit page.

Questions to ask yourself first

Before opening a line, think about how often you actually face surprise expenses or short-notice opportunities. If it happens a few times a year, a line can save you from scrambling. Consider what limit would genuinely cover those moments without tempting you to draw for things that do not move the business forward. Also look at your recent statements: steady deposits and a clean account history give us the clearest picture of what limit makes sense for your Portland business. A good line is one you use with a plan, not on impulse.

Know your terms before you draw

Your offer spells out the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept. Use the line for real business needs and keep track of what you have drawn. When you are ready, apply here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a line of credit and working capital funding?

A line lets you draw funds as needed up to a limit. Working capital funding usually arrives as one lump sum. Both have repayment details laid out in your offer.

What limit can I get in Portland?

Limits are based mainly on your deposits and existing obligations. Our funding range is $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Does a lower credit score rule me out?

FICO scores of 500 and up are considered. Your revenue history is weighed alongside your score.

Is a line useful for a seasonal Portland business?

Many seasonal businesses use a line to cover slower months and draw again before busy periods.

What documents do I need?

About three months of business bank statements. No tax returns are required.

Will I see the repayment details before I draw?

Yes. Your offer lays out the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept, so you know how draws are repaid before you use the line.
