What Are Auto Business Loans?

An auto business loan is a loan to help business owners start up an automotive business like an auto repair shop. They can also be used to help businesses purchase a vehicle to use for business needs. Because each business is unique, there are many different loan products to help.

Once you apply and get approved, you may be able to choose from unsecured business loans, a merchant cash advance, a business line of credit, equipment financing, and even SBA loans.
