When a term loan is the right shape

A term loan is a lump sum for a specific purpose, as opposed to a flexible cushion you draw on and repay repeatedly. It suits a project with a start, an end and an expected return: a second location, a vehicle, a build-out, a bulk inventory purchase or a hire that has to be in place before the revenue arrives.

In Central Texas, plenty of businesses are at exactly that point. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan area is a five-county area on the Interstate 35 side of the state, with a 2020 census population of 2,352,426, the 25th largest in the country, and it borders Greater San Antonio to the south. Growth in a market like that rewards the owner who can act on a decision while it is still a good one.

A decision checklist

  1. Name the purchase. A lump sum should map to an invoice, a quote or a lease agreement you can point at.
  2. Name the payback path. What additional revenue or saved cost pays for it, and roughly when does it start?
  3. Check the downside. If the new location opens three months later than planned, can the business still carry the payments?
  4. Read the offer, not the headline. Compare repayment schedule and total cost across any offers you get, including ours.
  5. Size honestly. Borrow what the project requires, not the largest number available.
