What determines business lines
of credit interest rates?
1. Business finances
Lenders want to see that you’re running a viable business, and will review your
company’s finances before making a decision and determining your interest
rate. They will look to see if your business is profitable and what your annual
revenues are. The better off your business is, the lower the interest rate will be
on your line of credit.
2. Market Prime Rate
Many lenders use the Market Prime Rate to determine their interest rates on
business loans. A Prime Rate is what lenders charge customers with excellent
credit. It serves as a baseline for lenders. The bigger the risk you pose as a
borrower, the farther away you’ll get from the Prime Rate.
As of August 22, 2019, the U.S. Prime Rate is 5.25%, but that number can
fluctuate over time.
11. 3. Personal credit score
Even though you’re applying for a business line of credit, lenders will
review your personal credit score. Your credit score is a number between
300 and 850. According to Experian — one of the three major credit
bureaus — a credit score of 700 or above is generally considered good
and will help you snag the lowest interest rates on a loan.
If your credit score is only fair or poor, lenders will view you as a risky
borrower. If you qualify for a line of credit, you may have to settle for one
with a very high interest rate.
4. Business credit score
Along with your personal credit score, lenders will also look at
your business credit score. Your business’ credit score is a number
ranging from 0 to 100 that ranks the creditworthiness of your company. If
you have a score of 80 or higher, your score is considered good, and
you’re more likely to qualify for a loan and get a competitive interest rate.

* The AIR is the average amount of interest (expressed as a %) you pay each year on a
loan. It is calculated by taking the total interest and dividing it by the loan amount and
number of years borrowed.
* For example, if you get a $100,000 loan for 1 year with a total
interest cost of $10,710, the calculation would be $10,710 /
($100,000 / 1) = 10.7% AIR.
