OnDeck

Direct funder Checked Sep 30, 2026
OnDeck offers term loans from $5,000 to $400,000 and revolving lines of credit from $6,000 to $200,000 to businesses with at least 1 year in business, $100,000 in annual revenue and a 625 personal FICO score. It publishes average APRs of 53.2% for term loans and 59.8% for lines of credit on loans originated in the half-year ending June 30, 2026. Loans may be issued by a member of the OnDeck family of companies or by Celtic Bank.
Heads up. OnDeck does not lend to businesses in North Dakota and publishes a list of restricted industries, including vehicle dealers, gambling, non-profits and pawn shops. Its FAQ gives term loan lengths of 18 to 24 months while its small business loans page says 6 to 24 months, so the minimum term shows as not published.
