Use your line, pay and repeat as needed

The line is flexible, allowing you to draw funds at any time, using as little or as much as you need up to your credit limit. You can keep reusing and repaying your line of credit as often as you’d like.

What factors can influence approval decisions?

 

During application reviews, some of the factors we look for include:

 

  • A credit report free of recent delinquencies and bankruptcy
  • A history of consistent, on-time payments, including on Chase accounts
  • Using a low percentage of the total credit available to you
  • Business run by the current owner for at least 2 years. Businesses established in the last 2 years will need to provide additional information.
