Finding Alternatives to OnDeck Business Loans: Your Guide to Better Financing Opportunities

OnDeck won’t publish a forward-looking rate range — the only pricing figure it discloses is a trailing average: 56.4% APR on term loans and 56.6% APR on lines of credit for H1 2025 originations, with its own caveat that “eligibility for the lowest rates is very limited.” That’s a real, sourced number worth knowing before you apply. Here’s what OnDeck actually discloses, and how REIL Capital’s options compare.

What OnDeck Offers

OnDeck’s term loans run $5,000–$400,000 with a maximum 24-month repayment period. Its business line of credit runs $6,000–$200,000 over 12/18/24-month terms with weekly or monthly payments, a $1,000 minimum draw, and no annual, monthly, or draw fees — though an origination fee applies (amount undisclosed).

Published qualification minimums are 625+ FICO, 1+ year in business, $100,000+ annual revenue, and a business checking account. OnDeck’s own site notes stronger applications tend to run 2+ years in business, 675+ FICO, $250,000+ revenue, and $3,000+ average monthly balance — those aren’t hard requirements, just benchmarks for a stronger offer. OnDeck isn’t available in North Dakota, and a restricted-industry list applies.

On rates: OnDeck doesn’t publish a forward rate range at all — only a trailing average of actual H1 2025 originations, 56.4% APR for term loans and 56.6% APR for lines of credit, with an explicit caveat that few borrowers qualify for the low end of that range. Funding is same-day if you’re approved and apply Monday–Friday before 10:30am ET; otherwise it takes 2–3 business days. OnDeck is a subsidiary of publicly traded Enova International (NYSE: ENVA).

OnDeck vs. REIL Capital, Side by Side

Factor OnDeck REIL Capital
Disclosed pricing Trailing average only: 56.4% APR (term loans) / 56.6% APR (LOC), H1 2025 — “few borrowers get the lowest rates” Not a fixed published rate — priced per applicant
Qualification (published minimums) 625+ FICO, 1+ year in business, $100,000+ revenue Multiple products span different credit and revenue profiles
Product range Term loans and lines of credit only Lines of credit, invoice financing, SBA loans, revenue-based financing, and more

Availability Not available in North Dakota; restricted-industry list applies Works with businesses across a broad range of industries

OnDeck’s real advantage over less-transparent competitors is that it discloses an actual average APR — but that average is high, and OnDeck says so itself. Whether that’s competitive for your business depends entirely on where you land relative to its “stronger application” benchmarks.

When OnDeck Might Be the Right Fit

If you meet OnDeck’s stronger-application benchmarks (2+ years in business, 675+ FICO, $250,000+ revenue), and you need fast funding for a specific term loan or line of credit need, OnDeck’s same-day-to-next-day funding speed is genuinely fast — and unlike some competitors, it tells you honestly what its average borrower actually pays.

When REIL Capital Makes More Sense

If you’re newer than a year in business, want financing types beyond a term loan or line of credit, or want to see if your business qualifies for pricing closer to the lower end of the market than OnDeck’s disclosed average, REIL Capital offers a broader product range built around your specific application.
