Lines of Credit
A business line of credit can be a very valuable tool to a business owner.
Citizens National Bank lines of credit are designed to help businesses manage their cash flow and their short term borrowing needs. Our lines of credit can be used to purchase inventory or pay bills, including payroll, while you wait for receivables to be collected, or to cover seasonal operating needs and expenses.
A line of credit typically is set up for one year or for the normal operating cycle of your business. Interest only payments are due periodically until the maturity date of the line of credit.
Benefits
- Access your funds quickly and easily through Online for Business or by phone.
- Competitive interest rates.
- Pay interest only on the portion of the line of credit in use.
- With a revolving line of credit: when you make a payment, you replenish the credit available to your business.

Leasing and Equipment Loans
Whether it’s new equipment to expand your business capabilities or replace old equipment, we have the loan solutions for you!
Leasing is Flexible, Practical, and Cost Effective
Flexible
A lease provides the use of equipment for a specific period of time at fixed rental payments. Leasing allows you to be more flexible in the management of your equipment.
Practical
By leasing, you transfer the uncertainties and risks of equipment ownership to the lessor, which allows you to concentrate on using that equipment as a productive part of your business.
Cost Effective
Equipment is costly and some of the costs are unexpected. When you lease, your risk of getting caught with obsolete equipment is lower because you can upgrade or add equipment to best meet your needs.
Benefits*
- Leasing has tax advantages
- Leasing helps conserve operating capital
- Leasing keeps lines of credit open
- Leasing helps avoid costly down payments
- Leasing helps better manage your balance sheet
*Consult a tax advisor
Examples
- Agriculture – grain bins, equipment, barns
- Medical/Dental – technology, equipment
- Municipal – vehicles, heavy equipment, fire engines, etc
- Schools – computer labs, small buses, technology
Equipment Loans Available
A typical equipment loan has a maximum term of 5-7 years with a maximum loan to value (LTV) of 75% of the purchase price. It is possible to borrow the entire purchase price by pledging security interest in other assets, such as other equipment or real estate. We offer flexible term options. You may choose annual, bi-annual, quarterly or monthly payments. This example illustrates a possible monthly payment scenario.
Equipment purchase example*
Purchase price = $250,000
Loan amount based on LTV 75% = $187,500
Interest rate = 6.5% fixed 5 year term
Monthly payment = $3,668.65
*Based on a hypothetical transaction. Final rates and terms are determined after review of borrower’s credit and financial condition.
