What it is

What it is

A line of credit gives you access to a credit limit. You draw funds when you need them, pay interest only on the outstanding balance, and the available balance refills as you pay it down. Some lines are unsecured, others are secured by business assets or specific collateral such as inventory or receivables. We underwrite the line in-house and decide what works for your file.

A Main Street line of credit is a revolving facility you can draw against repeatedly, similar to a business credit card without the card. You only pay for what you use, which makes it a strong fit for managing seasonal cash flow, covering payroll between payments, or stocking up on inventory ahead of a busy stretch. We approve the limit, we monitor the line, and we keep it open as long as the business stays in good standing.

Common questions

Common questions

Do I have to draw the full amount right away?

No. The advantage of a line of credit is that the limit sits there ready and you only borrow what you need, when you need it.

Will Main Street keep my limit available forever?

We review lines annually. As long as the business stays in good standing and you continue to use the line responsibly, the limit stays in place and often grows with you.

How are payments structured?

Most draws are repaid in fixed weekly or monthly installments over six to eighteen months. We tell you the payment structure for each draw before you take it.

Can I use a line of credit for any business purpose?

Generally yes, as long as it is a legitimate business use. Owners use it for inventory, payroll, marketing, repairs, and to cover gaps between client payments.
