Pick your path

If you know whether you need a business line of credit or a personal line of credit, jump to the guide that matches. If you're unsure whether a line of credit fits your situation — or how it compares to a term loan or credit card — read the key differences below, then move to your next step.

Key differences

Line of credit vs. term loan vs. credit card:

Feature	Line of Credit	Term Loan	Credit Card
Draw structure	Revolving; use what you need	One lump sum	Revolving
Interest rate (2026)	6–20% APR (depends on type)	8–14% APR	15–25% APR
Typical amount	$5K–$500K+	$10K–$5M+	$1K–$50K
Repayment	Interest-only or interest + principal	Fixed installments	Flexible (minimum or full)
Best for	Cash flow gaps, emergency access	One-time purchases, expansion	Small purchases, rewards

Business lines of credit suit cash flow management: you draw $10K this month to cover payroll, repay it in 30 days, and redraw when a seasonal dip hits. Personal lines work the same way but are tied to your personal credit and income, not business revenue.

Who qualifies and what lenders look for

For a business line of credit, most mainstream lenders require:

• Minimum FICO score of 620+
• 24+ months in business
• Debt-to-income ratio of 1.25x or better (your annual revenue ÷ total debt obligations)
• Annual revenue of $100K+

SBA-backed business lines run 8–11% APR and go up to $5 million. Bank-issued unsecured lines run 9–16% APR. Secured lines (backed by equipment, inventory, or real estate) can be 6–12% APR.

For a personal line of credit, most lenders need:

• FICO of 650+ (some credit unions go lower)
• Stable employment or income verification
• Debt-to-income under 43%
• No recent bankruptcies

Personal lines run 7–18% APR depending on your credit profile and lender type. Credit unions often undercut online lenders by 2–4 points if you're a member.

What trips people up

Soft pre-qualification offers zero credit-score impact — if a lender says "See the rate you qualify for in 2 minutes," that's a soft pull. Only formal applications trigger a hard inquiry (5–10 point temporary dip). Use soft pre-quals to compare without damage.

Don't max out your available credit. Lenders watch your utilization ratio — keeping balances under 30% of your total available credit preserves your FICO and shows you manage debt responsibly.

Unsecured lines close faster but cost more. A bank line of credit without collateral funds in 5–10 days at 10–16% APR. A secured line (backed by equipment or inventory) takes 20–30 days but runs 6–12% APR — worth the wait if you carry the line long-term.

Business owners in Midland have local and national options. Regional Texas banks (like community credit unions) and online lenders all compete here.
