Questions About Business Lines of Credit

How is a line of credit different from a traditional loan?

A line of credit allows you to draw funds as needed and repay over time rather than receiving a lump sum of funds with fixed monthly payments.

Do I only pay interest on the funds I use?

Yes, you only pay interest on the portion you draw, not the total credit limit.

Is the credit line revolving?

Yes. Once you repay, the funds become available again without reapplying.

How long is the typical line of credit term?

Most operating lines mature in one year or less. For extended financing options, review our CELOC program.

Are decisions made locally?

Yes. All decisions are made right here in Colorado at Farmers State Bank, ensuring quick responses and personalized service. The loan officer who gathers your application is the same one who underwrites your request, closes the loan with you, and stands beside you long after the paperwork is signed.
