How it works

How the line of credit works.

Aion's model is different from a traditional bank loan or a fintech credit line. Here's how it works.

01

Aion reviews your invoices and inventory.

Your credit limit is based on your receivables and collateral. The stronger your receivables, the larger your line.

02

You're approved for a revolving credit line.

Draw what you need, when you need it. You only pay for what you use.

03

Once invoices clear, your line replenishes automatically.

Aion's platform tracks settlements in real time. No manual repayment necessary.

04

As your receivables grow, your available credit grows, too.

Land a bigger contract? Your limit can increase without reapplication or renegotiation.

What does it cost?

Aion's effective cost of capital is ~2% on drawn amounts. Here's how that compares to the alternatives most growing businesses are weighing.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Do I have to move my banking to Aion?

Yes, if you want to access the line of credit. Aion's credit underwriting and automatic line replenishment are only possible if your banking and lending are in the same system. If we can see your cash flow and receivables in real time, that expedites underwriting, helps personalize limits, and supports replenishing lines of credit automatically once invoices clear.

How is this different from invoice factoring?

With factoring, you sell your invoices to a third party, who then collects directly from your customers. Aion is different: your invoices back the credit line, but you maintain the customer relationship and handle your own collections. Factoring typically costs 1–5% of the total invoice value. Aion's effective cost is ~2% on drawn amounts — and because it's revolving, you're not starting from scratch with each invoice.

What does it actually cost?

Aion's effective cost of capital is ~2% on drawn amounts. You only pay for what you draw down — not the full credit line. Once an invoice clears and the funds settle, the charge stops. There's no cost to having the line available; the meter only runs if you have an outstanding balance.

How long does approval take?

[TBD — copy pending guidance from the credit team.]

Can my credit limit increase as my business grows?

Yes. Since Aion underwrites based on your actual receivables, your limit can grow as your receivables grow, without reapplication or renegotiation. Land a larger contract, take on a bigger customer, and your available credit can expand up to $5M.

What happens if I have a slow month?

Aion underwrites based on your receivables — a live read of your business, not a historical one. If your cash flow fluctuates, Aion can see that payments are still coming, so we don't pull the line the moment things slow down. Clients have cited this explicitly as one of their favorite features of our platform.

Do you do a hard credit pull for the eligibility check?

[TBD — copy pending guidance from the credit team.]

What collateral do you need?

Aion's line of credit is backed by your accounts receivable and inventory. The stronger and more consistent your receivables, the larger your available credit line, up to $5M.

Can multiple entities use one line?

[TBD — copy pending guidance from the credit team.]

Has your business outgrown its options?

If your bank can't keep up and fintech lenders cap out too low, Aion is the answer to both.
