Idea Financial

Direct funder Checked Sep 30, 2026
Idea Financial offers revolving lines of credit of up to $350,000 and short-term business loans with 6 to 18 month terms. It asks for a 650+ personal credit score and $15,000 or more in monthly revenue, and does not fund sole proprietorships or nonprofits. It publishes no rates and says it charges no origination fees.

Heads up. Idea Financial's pages disagree on time in business (2 years on its term loan page, 3 years in its FAQ) and on the term loan maximum ($25,000 in one sentence, $350,000 elsewhere), so those figures show as not published. Its line of credit page says repayment terms run up to 36 months while its FAQ says 6 to 18 months.
