What is a Business Expansion Loan?
Business expansion loans are a specific type of business loan that helps companies make decisions that can help their business grow before it's too late. These loans can help add new staff, pay for marketing campaigns, and add new products to prepare for growth. Using these loans gives small businesses more room to grow. Small businesses often wait until they have enough cash flow to expand, but then it becomes too late and they struggle to keep up with the demands with the resources they have.
How Business Expansion Loans Work
Business expansion loans work to give companies financing in the form of equipment financing, SBA loans, merchant cash advances, invoice financing, and more. By leveraging assets the business already has, they can borrow against them to give them the funds they need to expand right now.

Business Expansion Loans FAQ
Will a Business Expansion Loan Affect Personal Credit?
A business expansion loan can affect your personal credit in some ways. If you give personal guarantees, have to get a hard credit check, or the lender reports to credit bureaus, it's likely that your score could take a hit.
What Is The Best Source of Finance For Expansion?
Merchant cash advances and small business loans are the two best options when it comes to funding for business expansion.
What Is a Business Expansion Example?
Let's say you want to take on more clients in your construction business. To bring this idea into fruition, you need more staff to take on work, more equipment so multiple projects can happen at the same time, and maybe even more marketing to get the word out.
How Do I Know If an Expansion Loan Is Right For My Business?
If you want to grow, but you need more staff, software for operations, equipment, inventory, or funding for a new location, then you might want an expansion loan instead of tying up your current cash flow.
