H-Town. Space City. Clutch City. Bayou City. Whatever you want to call it, Houston and all of its 627 square miles, is the most ethnically diverse and one of the most unique cities in the U.S. of A. And lending to its eclectic vibe are the over 100,000 (and growing!) small businesses that call this fair city home. And while Houston is continuously named in the top friendliest cities for businesses, those perks being touted are not often extended to the “mom and pop” shops and small non-tech firms that help keep the city running. And maintaining a healthy, steady cashflow can be a challenge. But, it doesn’t have to be when you have Kapitus as your partner for small business loans!

Top small business loans for Houston business owners
Equipment Financing
If your business needs new equipment, but you don’t have enough available cash to make the purchase then this is a great option for you. Our equipment financing product allows you to choose between purchasing your new equipment or leasing it with rights to renew. Equipment loans involve regular payments that include both the principal and interest. Equipment leasing is similar to leasing a car where you pay “rent” for use of the equipment over a specified amount of time.
Business Loans
Available for both short- and long-term needs. Our business loans provide you with an agreed upon sum of money that you will pay back over a specified amount of time, with interest. The amount of interest paid and the total overall cost will depend on whether you opt for a short-term loan, which typically has a higher interest rate but a lower overall cost or a long-term loan, which tends to have a lower interest rate but a higher overall cost.
Revenue Based Financing
Revenue Based Financing is an up-front sum of cash that is based on a business’s future sales. Though not technically a loan, this is a great option for businesses that need access to cash quickly. Because this is not a loan, there is no APR or compounded interest associated with this product. Instead, borrowers agree to pay a fixed percentage in addition to the amount provided.
Line of Credit
Similar to a personal credit card, a business line of credit provides you with a line of credit that is accessible for you to use at any time. You only pay interest on the portion of the line that you use, and once paid, funds become available for you to use again. This is a great option for businesses who want to stabilize their cash flow or those who are in need of short-term working capital.
SBA Loans
A small business loan that is partially guaranteed by the U.S. Government’s Small Business Administration, this option is great for businesses with stellar financial and operating histories. Because the government has agreed to back a portion of the loan, the application process is very thorough and can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3+ months. The qualifying requirements are very restrictive, but this is an excellent option with favorable terms if you are able to qualify.
Helix
Helix is a financing product exclusively for the healthcare industry. The economics of running an independent practice have changed extensively over the past couple of years, making it difficult to manage cash flow. The Helix underwriting process, financing length and repayment terms all take into account the new reality of lower insurance premiums and longer wait times for insurance payouts being faced by independent healthcare practices.
What are the Features & Benefits of Houston Business Loans
Boost Cash Flow
Business loans are a great way to boost your cash flow on both a short- and long-term basis. Short-term loans can be used to help you quickly cover unexpected expenses, while traditional term loans allow you to take on larger projects without having a negative impact on your cash flow.
Favorable Rates & Terms
If you’ve got great credit, stable revenue and a good business plan, then a business loan is a great option for you. With these credentials, it is fairly easy to be approved with favorable rates and flexible payback terms. Business loans are available in both small and large amounts.
Convenient Repayment Options
With many business loans, borrowers can have a say in the frequency and flexibility of payment deadlines. Payment frequency can be based on existing cash flow, where the installment fluctuates based on revenue. Or you can pay back larger amounts without prepayment penalties.
