Elevate Your Business with a Line of Credit | Bluevine (2024)

Once approved for a credit line, you can request funds directly from your Bluevine dashboard. We’ll deposit funds in your account as soon as a few hours, pending review and approval. Depending on which repayment plan you qualified for, we’ll automatically debit your account for weekly or monthly repayments. As you pay off your balance, the amount of available credit you can request automatically replenishes. Because your repayments are calculated with simple interest, you can save on interest when you pay early. We don’t charge early repayment fees.

You can apply for a Bluevine Line of Credit as long as your business meets the minimum qualifications and does not operate in one of the following ineligible industries or states:

Ineligible industries

• Illegal gambling
• p*rnography and paraphernalia
• Political campaigns
• Firearms and paraphernalia
• Other controlled substances (including medicinal marijuana, marijuana, cannabis, and hemp) and paraphernalia
• Financial institutions and lenders (including insurance, penny auction companies, and cryptocurrency)
• Auto dealerships

Ineligible states

• Nevada
• North Dakota
• South Dakota
• U.S. territories

To qualify for a Bluevine Line of Credit, your eligible business must be a corporation or LLC in business 24+ months, with no bankruptcies in the past year, and in good standing with your Secretary of State. Also, your business must earn $40,000 in monthly revenue––or $480,000 annually––and you must have a 625+ personal FICO credit score.

We’ll verify this information when you apply and each month after to ensure you remain eligible. The fastest way to do this is to connect your external bank account. If you don’t, you’ll need to manually upload bank statements from the last three months. Learn more about bank connections.

It’s easier to apply for a line of credit if you already have a Bluevine Business Checking account.

With funds in as fast as 24 hours, simple interest rates, and no prepayment penalties, a Bluevine Line of Credit lets you take advantage of growth opportunities early.^BVSUP-00009

You could use a line of credit to cover payroll, hire full-time or seasonal employees as you need them, stock up on extra inventory during a sales rush, or buy materials or equipment for your next big project. You could also renovate your office, warehouse, or storefront, or lease a larger one.

Think of a business line of credit as funds your company can request and use if and when you need it. With a Bluevine Line of Credit, you only pay for what you use, and your available credit line replenishes as you make repayments on your draw(s). All draw requests are subject to review and approval. As you build history, the size of your credit line can scale with the size of your business.

A business line of credit provides greater flexibility to your business, allowing you growth opportunities that might otherwise be unavailable to you. For example, a line of credit can provide financial stability if you encounter unexpected expenses or seasonal fluctuations in revenue.

If you’re looking to boost your growth, you can purchase more inventory or operations equipment, or fund a new marketing campaign. If you’re expanding, a line of credit can help you open a new office or location, or it can support a new product launch.
