Frequently Asked Questions
What determines my interest rate?
The interest rate on your business loan is risk-based and determined by your circumstances and credit history. Our evaluation may include a review of information on the business, individual owner(s) and/or guarantor(s) or a combination of several, plus the following:
- Loan-to-value ratio
- Debt-to-income ratio
- Current obligations
- Other factors related to the overall financial picture that could affect your ability to repay the loan
In general, applicants with great credit qualify for more favorable rates than those whose credit isn’t as strong. For more information on factors that may affect approval or rates, see our article on what lenders look for in a loan application.

Once all the required information has been submitted, it can take up to 7 to 10 business days to review and approve or decline most lending requests.
Will my personal credit be checked when I apply for a business vehicle loan?
Yes, personal credit scores are taken into consideration during the decision process.
