Both flex with your business, but a line of credit is reusable revolving capital, while revenue-based financing is a lump sum repaid as a share of sales.
Choose a line of credit if you qualify — it is the cheaper, reusable option and the capital is there whenever you need it.
Choose revenue-based financing when you need cash today, your credit is thin, or you want repayment that flexes with sales. It costs more, but it funds fast and underwrites on revenue.
One application compares both so you take the cheapest option you actually qualify for.
A line of credit, if you can qualify — it is almost always cheaper. Revenue-based financing is the fast fallback when credit or time in business rules a line out.
No. One application compares both with a soft pull. A hard inquiry only happens when you accept a specific offer.
Yes. One EQ Funding application routes your file to 50 lenders covering both, so you see line of credit and revenue-based financing offers side by side and choose the better deal — instead of applying separately and guessing which is more competitive.
No. Comparing offers uses a soft pull that has no effect on your credit score. A hard inquiry only happens once you accept a specific lender — so there is no downside to seeing both before you decide.
Nothing to you. EQ Funding is paid by the lender when your deal closes — never by the borrower. Because lenders compete, the winning offer is often better than what a single source would have made.
Most applicants see first offers within about 24 hours and can fund in as little as 48 hours after accepting. SBA-backed options take longer but carry the lowest rates.
