What are SoFi Small Business Loans?
The SoFi Small Business Loan is a simple working-capital loan designed for small businesses that want quick funding, predictable weekly repayments, and a clear payoff date.
You choose a single draw amount (up to your approved maximum), see your total cost and repayment schedule upfront, and receive funds to your business checking account via ACH.
How do SoFi Small Business Loans work?
We periodically review your business activity to determine eligibility. There’s no separate application needed to be considered. Once your offer appears in the SoFi Small Business Loans tab, you’ll see your eligibility status. From there, you can opt in to view final terms. This all happens as a soft credit check with no impact to your credit!
From there, you are free to select any amount up to your approved maximum as a one-time draw for that offer. Funds are then deposited to your selected business checking account by ACH, typically within two (2) business days.
From there, automatic weekly or bi-weekly (twice a month) ACH debits occur on a set weekday for the duration of your loan’s term. You’ll see all payments and your payoff date upfront!

What are the benefits of a SoFi Small Business Loan?

- Fixed weekly or biweekly payments on a set weekday and a known payoff date
