How Fast Can I Get Business Funding?

The fastest business funding — merchant cash advances and some online short-term loans — can arrive within 24 to 72 hours, occasionally the same day. Online term loans and lines of credit typically take 1–7 days, while bank and SBA loans usually take 30–90 days.
