Line of credit vs installment loan for a Burke County, NC business

An installment loan, whether called a term loan or a business loan, is repaid in equal payments to an end date. A line of credit has no fixed schedule for the whole limit; payments follow the balance drawn.

Illustration only, invented figures: a $40,000 installment loan at an annual rate of 12% over 36 months has an invented payment of about $1,329, from the first month to the last (our arithmetic). A line with the same limit costs interest only on what is drawn, so its monthly cost rises and falls with use.

Business lines of credit in Morganton, NC and business term loans go through each.
