How long of a wait for second square loan

Hello, We have done over [Personal Information Redacted] in the last 6 months and paid off a square loan a week ago.. We were hoping to get another offer before the end of the year as we have started with two more shops and are expanding quick..

 

Thank You,

Re: How long of a wait for second square capital loan

There isn't a way to say how long it will be or even if it will be offered again.  every account is different and some get loans while they are at 80% paid back and others are never offered a loan and others wait a year or more between loans.

 

My advice is always to secure your business funding so you know what you have and if it will be there when you need it by getting a Revolving line of credit or something similar from a bank or credit union. you can use a Square loan then if the timing is right and one is offered but a RLOC will be much cheaper and offers much more stable footing for your business.

Let me know when you get the new loan.  I am coming close to paying off my loan and would also like to get another one to expand.  Seems like the other loans I have gotten were offered around 75% paid off.

Hi @CCARLSON01 - thanks for reaching out to us here on the Seller Community.

 

For record keeping purposes, I've gone ahead and merged your post into an existing thread of Sellers who were also looking for information regarding new Square loans.

 

Square loans are extended and regulated by our Loans Department. Loans themselves are viewed individually, meaning that eligibility for a loan is not dependent upon past loan status or success. To be considered for a new loan, continue to be a strong Seller and we will reach out when we have a new offer available.

I think it varies widely.  My first was 90% paid before I got a second offer.  that one was only 77% paid before I got a third offer.  But I know some people who get an offer eariler or later or not at all,

As VanWilkerFarms has said, it is impossible to know when you'll receive another loan offer.

 

However, elsewhere in this forum Square representatives have said that if you do not qualify for a new loan offer your account will be reevaluated automatically every 2 weeks. Presumably, if your account still doesn't qualify at that time they will wait another 2 weeks before reevaluating it again.

 

So all that can be said is that you should keep your metrics up. Try to process more cards, process more transactions, and have fewer (if any) chargebacks. Also try to have a mix of new customers (to demonstrate business growth) and repeat customers (to demonstrate long-term business viability).

 

Good luck!

I've seen new offers come in anywhere from 80% paid off to fully paid off. There is no guarantee that a new offer will come in though!
