How this estimate works

Actual limits, pricing, and fees are set by independent funding partners and depend on your credit, revenue, time in business, and lender channel. Your line will differ. The ranges shown are industry market data from published sources as of Jul 2026, not OpenQuote pricing. Partner fees, if any, are itemized on the offer itself: ask for all of them in writing.

A line of credit revolves, so you can draw, repay, and redraw. Cost accrues on the drawn balance, currently 43% of the limit, rather than on the full limit. The 12-month carry holds that drawn balance for a full year; a shorter outstanding draw costs less. There is no fixed payment schedule. Market-typical bank annual fee, not OpenQuote pricing. Bank lines charge a flat annual fee and no draw fee. A flat annual fee spread over the drawn balance lifts the effective cost above the headline APR, and lifts it most on a lightly-used line. Figures are approximate; the signed agreement governs.

bank or SBA lines are advertised up to about $500,000, while typical approved limits run from about $16,000 for newer businesses to $73,000 for established ones. The typical drawn balance is about $22,565. Businesses draw about 42% of a line on average, with fixed-rate lines nearer 53% and variable-rate lines nearer 37%. These are industry figures for context, not suggested limits or OpenQuote pricing. The market range for a bank or SBA line of credit runs 7.0% to 16.5% APR, centered near 8.5% (public market data, Jul 2026). Not OpenQuote pricing. Files like this typically land between 7.7% and 9.3% in this channel (industry pattern, not a quote). The 8.5% APR sits right at the market center for a bank or SBA line of credit.

A line of credit revolves, so cost follows the drawn balance and how long each draw stays out. See the full explainer
