Excuse me if I skip many of our programs on this post due to limitation reasons. However, if you have any question about a commercial loan program you are interested in, feel free to ask here on our forum and Nelson and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Lending Network, Inc. offers business and commercial loan programs for various businesses and investors. The following are the different types of business and commercial loans available:
Business Loan Programs:
Factoring
Method of financing: businesses sell their accounts receivable at a discount to receive immediate funds.

Allows companies to get an advance on outstanding invoices to have better cash flow.

- Food Truck

I can’t discuss what other lenders are doing with their business loan programs. What I can tell you is the types of business and commercial loan programs that are out there in general and at Lending Network, Inc. Here are some different ways businesses get financed:
Factoring: Selling accounts receivable at a discount for immediate cash.
Accounts Receivable Financing: Using the receivables as collateral for a loan rather than selling them outright.
Equipment Financing: Loans for buying business equipment often serve as collateral.
Merchant Cash Advance (MCA): An advance on a business’s future credit card sales.
Bridge Loans: Short-term loans designed to “bridge” the gap between immediate cash need and longer-term financing.
Hard Money Loans are usually short-term loans secured by real estate. They are often used for investment properties or when traditional financing is not available.
Lines of Credit: Revolving credit lets businesses borrow up to a certain limit as needed.
SBA Loans: Government-backed loans for small businesses often come with favorable terms.
Term Loans: Traditional loans with a fixed repayment period and fixed or variable interest rates.
Commercial Real Estate Loans: For purchasing or refinancing business properties.
Construction Loans: These are for financing new building construction or major renovations.
Invoice Financing: Similar to factoring, but can be done per invoice.
Purchase Order Financing: Funding based on confirmed purchase orders from customers.
Inventory Financing: These loans use a company’s inventory as collateral.
Business Credit Cards Revolving credit designed specifically for business expenses
Microloans are small, short-term loans often used by startups or small businesses.
Peer-to-Peer Lending: Borrowing directly from individuals or groups of investors through online platforms.
Asset-based lending is loans secured by a company’s assets, such as inventory or equipment. These are broad categories of business financing. The lenders you’re working with (including Lending Network, Inc.) may have different names for these programs. So, I recommend contacting Lending Network, Inc. directly or checking out their official website if you want to know what is available at Lending Network Inc. This will give you the most up-to-date information on their services.
