✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

What it means

As explained by Merchant Fund Express: A large final payment due at the end of a loan after smaller payments through its term.

Balloon structures lower the payment during the term by pushing a lump sum to the end. If the business cannot pay or refinance it, it becomes a problem.

Why it matters when you apply

Check whether a financing has a balloon, when it is due and how you plan to meet it.
