Add an intense May-to-September tourism season — hotels, marine tours, restaurants — and local businesses need flexible capital, not a rigid bank loan.

Terms explained
What is a business term loan?
A business term loan is a lump sum that you repay with interest over a fixed period, usually in regular monthly payments. It suits planned, one-time investments such as expansion or hiring. Through lendflo, term loans run from $25,000 to $2,000,000, with repayment terms of up to 60 months.
See in the glossaryWhat is equipment financing?
Equipment financing is a loan or lease used to buy business equipment such as vehicles, machinery or technology. The equipment itself usually serves as the lender’s security, which makes approval easier and can keep the down payment low. Through lendflo it runs from $10,000 to $500,000, with terms up to 84 months.
See in the glossaryWhat is working capital?
Working capital is the cash a business uses for day-to-day costs such as payroll, rent, inventory and supplier bills. A working capital loan bridges the gap between paying those costs and getting paid by customers. Through lendflo it is based mainly on recent revenue rather than collateral.
