In Quebec? Visit our Square Funding FAQ.

Square provides access to funds to help you grow your business. Because we know each individual business is unique, eligible Square sellers are extended offers for Square Loans that are personally tailored. You can use Square Loans to increase inventory, buy equipment or hire more employees, whatever you need to help your business grow and succeed.

Square Loans is a product made with the same simplicity of all Square products:

  • There is no lengthy application, just a few clicks on your Dashboard. 

  • Your funds are deposited in your bank account as soon as the next business day.

  • Repayment occurs as a fixed percentage of your daily card sales. 

  • You pay one loan fee to borrow the loan. This fee never increases.

Square Loans have an early repayment option, giving you even more repayment flexibility with no hidden fees.

Select and Accept your Offer

Click and drag the slider bar to select the amount that’s right for your business. As you slide across different loan amounts, the fee and hold rate will adjust accordingly. The lower the loan offer size you select, the lower the percentage of daily card sales used to repay your loan. Once you apply for an offer, all loan terms including – fees, loan amount and repayment rate are fixed.

Loan Review Process

Once you have submitted your application, your request will be reviewed. We may request a few extra pieces of information from you during the review process. Check out this information from us to help you through the review process:

Repay your Loan
