Our Verdict
Headquartered in New Jersey with locations along the East Coast, TD Bank offers both loans and lines of credit for small businesses. TD Bank is also a Small Business Administration (SBA) preferred lender and facilitates SBA loans, such as SBA 7(a) and 504 loans.
If you live in one of the 15 states where TD Bank operates or Washington, D.C., TD Bank can be a good fit for your small business.
- Wide range of loan options
- Perks for healthcare practitioners
- Large loan amounts available
- Not available in all states
- May charge origination and packing fees
- Does not disclose minimum and maximum APR

Who td bank is best for, who td bank isn’t right for, what td bank offers, td bank business loans details, how to qualify for a td bank business loan, how to apply for a td bank business loan, customer reviews, methodology.
TD Bank’s small business loans or lines of credit may be right for your business if you:
- Have a new business. TD Bank requires one year of your most recent business tax returns for loan requests between $100,000 and $250,000. However, you need at least three years of business tax returns if you want to borrow $250,000 or more.
- Want in-person banking. TD Bank has over 1,100 locations along the East Coast and you can speak with a lending specialist over the phone or in-person.
- Need large loan amounts. TD Bank offers small business loans from $10,000 to $1 million and lines of credit from $25,000 to $500,000. It will also review your application for SBA guaranteed loan options, which typically go up to $5 million.
- Are a healthcare practitioner: In addition to its small business loans and lines of credit, TD Bank also offers special financing for dentists, veterinarians, physicians and eye care professionals. These loans can go up to $12 million.
On the flip side, TD Bank probably wouldn’t be the best lender for your business if you:
- Don’t live within the bank’s footprint. To borrow from TD Bank, you’ll need to live in one of the following states or Washington, D.C.: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont or Virginia.
- Are looking to avoid loan fees. TD Bank may charge origination and packaging fees on your loans, which could add to your borrowing expenses.
- Want an online-only application. Although you can apply online for a TD Bank small business loan up to $250,000, you’ll need to apply in person for larger amounts.
TD Bank offers the following financing options for small businesses:
- Term loans. TD Bank’s business loans range from $10,000 to $1 million with repayment terms of one to five years. Interest rates are fixed for the life of the loan.
- Small business lines of credit. The bank’s lines of credit range from $25,000 to $500,000 with variable interest rates.
- Commercial real estate loans and mortgages. Businesses can also access loans to buy or refinance commercial real estate. These loans come with an amortization period of up to 20 years.
- Healthcare practice lending solutions. Dentists, veterinarians, eye care professionals and physicians can access up to $12 million to finance their practices, plus working capital. Physicians also have access to financing for practice mergers and working capital lines of credit.
- SBA loans. TD Bank can connect you with SBA 7(a) loans, 504 loans and Express loans, as well as USDA loans. When you apply for small business financing, the bank can notify you if you qualify for any SBA-guaranteed loan options.

TD Bank’s business loans can be used for various business costs, such as the purchase of equipment or vehicles, expansion or renovation of your business or for working capital.
You can choose repayment terms between one and five years with a fixed interest rate. These loans are typically secured by collateral, such as equipment, inventory or cash. TD Bank’s lines of credit are also secured, though the collateral is usually cash or accounts receivable.
To qualify for a TD Bank business loan, your business needs to operate in one of the states that TD Bank operates in or Washington, D.C. You’ll also need to provide collateral to back your small business loan or line of credit, or provide a down payment if you borrow an SBA loan.
TD Bank doesn’t disclose minimum revenue or credit score requirements. However, it asks to see a year of your business’s most recent tax returns for loan requests up to $250,000 and three years of tax returns (plus two years of personal returns) for higher amounts.
You can apply online for a TD Bank business loan or line of credit from $25,000 to $500,000 . For larger amounts, commercial real estate loans and SBA loans, you’ll need to apply in person at a TD Bank location. You can download the loan application on the bank’s website.
You’ll need to provide the following documents when you apply:
- Business name and certificate or registration
- Association bylaws or copy of minutes of last meeting with new officers
- LLC operating agreement
- One to three years of business tax returns
- Personal financial statement (if applicable)
- Entity guarantee form (if applicable)
For requests over $250,000, you’ll also need to provide an interim year-to-date business financial statement, accounts receivable aging report and two years of personal tax returns.
TD Bank doesn’t fare particularly well on consumer review sites TrustPilot or the Better Business Bureau. The bank receives a low rating of 1.4 and 1.1 stars out of five, respectively, on these sites. However, the reviews are not focused on TD Bank’s small business financing products but rather cover all of the bank’s offerings.
We reviewed TD Bank based on 16 data points in the categories of loan details, loan costs, eligibility and accessibility, customer experience and the application process. We rated TD Bank based on the weighting assigned to each category:
- Loan cost. 35%
- Loan details. 25%
- Customer experience. 20%
- Eligibility and accessibility. 10%
- Application process. 10%
Within each major category, we also considered several characteristics, including available loan amounts, repayment terms and applicable fees. We also looked at minimum credit score and time in business requirements and the geographic availability of the lender. Finally, we evaluated TD Bank’s customer support tools, borrower perks and features that simplify the borrowing process—like online applications, prequalification options and mobile apps.

Types of Life Insurance
While there's many different types of life insurance policies , broadly speaking, there are two types of life insurance: temporary and permanent. Let's go over each in detail.
Temporary life insurance
Temporary life insurance is often called term life insurance. This type of policy covers you for a set amount of time before expiring, usually between 10-30 years. If you pass away after your policy expires, your family won't receive any benefits. Additionally, your policy won't accrue cash value like a permanent policy. That said, some term life insurance policies offer a conversion from term to whole life insurance, so you can extend your coverage.
Because its benefits aren't guaranteed, term life policies are generally cheaper than permanent life insurance. That said, the vast majority of term life insurance policies never pay out. on
Permanent life insurance
Permanent life insurance is an umbrella term for a variety of life insurance policies that will insure you indefinitely and guarantee a payout as long as you maintain your policy. Policy types that fall under permanent life insurance includes:
- Whole life insurance
- Universal life insurance
- Variable life insurance
- Variable universal life insurance
- Simplified life insurance
- Guaranteed issue life insurance
These policies vary widely in purpose and intended buyers, but all guarantee death benefits to your loved ones. Some permanent life insurance policies, like whole, universal, and variable have a cash value component , which you can use as a savings tool or to leave your heirs a larger death benefit.
How to Pick the Best Life Insurance Policy for You
Finding the right fit in life insurance starts with finding a trusted insurance agent. Because there are so many state regulations, shopping for homeowners or auto insurance can be easily done online. Life insurance is not required. So it's a voluntary purchase. Many buyers don't know what they need or when they need it. Before making your selection, consider a few things:
Some companies will sell you a policy for your child as soon as they're born. While this may seem morbid, early sign-up means lower rates for a policy your child could enjoy in the future. Regardless, early sign-up equates to more policy for lower premiums and a higher likelihood of acceptance. At 20, you may be healthier and be able to pay into the policy for a longer period compared to when you're 50 with more age-related conditions.
As a general rule, never agree to more than you can afford. For the average life insurance agent, their job is to sell you a large policy with a large commission. Consider not only how much you make now, but how likely your current income is to continue. If you work on a project basis and your project is scheduled to end in 12 months, you may want to reconsider a policy premium outside your monthly savings.
How much are you prepared to buy? Some people only want a small policy to cover funerals and other end-of-life expenses. Others build a life policy into their retirement plan. Whatever direction you're going, involving a financial planner could help you make the right decisions. Depending on the carrier, customers can also compare set limits with index universal life policies, which set no limit. These policies never expire, and the value builds over the entirety of your life.
Living Benefits
Life happens unexpectedly. You could be healthy one day and in the hospital the next. Many life policies offer living benefits. These allow you to draw a limited amount out of your policy to cover medical and other bills you cannot pay while sick.
Much like a 401(k), many life insurance policies have penalties for early withdrawal. No matter what policy you want, this question is critical to an informed decision. It's a question of how early you can withdraw and how much you'll lose from the total to have the money in 10 years instead of 30 or after death.
Some policies require insured parties to pay premiums for at least one year before any significant payout would be available. Suicide exclusions are common. Even with no medical exam policies, the company may still do a check for known conditions. An insurance company has to mitigate its risk.
Flexibility
Once you've been denied a life insurance policy, a mark goes on your record. No matter the reasons, other insurance companies may deny you coverage based on the first denial. So consider your whole situation and choose your policy carefully before you submit any applications. Some policies have greater flexibility if you lose your job or otherwise can't make payments. Others will lapse if you miss even one payment.
Payment Type
Even within whole life or term life insurance policies, customers have the option to choose guaranteed fixed or variable rates. Some have guaranteed payouts, but you'll need to ask your agent for details.
What is your intended use? Why are you shopping for a life insurance policy in the first place, and what are your goals? Many successful financial planners also have a background in life insurance. So while they may not be able to find you a specific life insurance policy, financial planners can help you set out a blueprint for your purchase.
Why You Should Trust Us: How We Reviewed the Best Life Insurance Companies
In life insurance, it's easy to get "sold a bill of goods." Many life insurance agents pass a state test to be thrown into the deep end. Agents sell the company product, but not all know the products. In this vein, we look at the products each company offers. We also look at agent training.
A good life insurance agent may not volunteer all facts upfront. But a company's agents should answer questions about its products accurately and in a way the average consumer can digest. Agents should be able to inform you about the long-term benefits and limitations. This will help customers find the right policy for their long-term plan.
We consider affordability, policy sizes available, and performance for a comprehensive assessment in our insurance rating methodology . If you can, we recommend also working with a financial advisor to make a plan for your future with life insurance.

The Experts' Advice on Choosing The Best Life Insurance for You
How much life insurance coverage do you believe the average buyer should have.
Paul LaPiana, Head of Product at MassMutual
"There are different approaches to determining how much life insurance you need. One is the 'human life' approach, which estimates the current value of your future earning potential. Another is securing specific coverage to pay off debts such as a mortgage or provide for the education of children. A comprehensive protection plan should provide the right amount of coverage over the course of your working life and into retirement."
Barbara A. Pietrangelo, Chair of Life Happens
"There is no one-size-fits-all life insurance policy because everyone is different. One way to get a rough estimate is to multiply your income by 10 to 15; another is adding $100,00 to that amount, should you have a child and anticipate college education expenses.
Your best bet is to talk to a financial professional or use the Life Insurance Needs Calculator on LifeHappens.org to analyze what's right for you."
Wykeeta Peel, Corporate Vice President & Market Manager African American Market Unit at New York Life
"As you consider what policy best meets your needs, it can help to answer four key questions: First, how much death benefit do you need? Second, how long will you need that coverage? Third, what is your budget (or how much monthly premium can you afford to pay?), and finally, what is your investment risk tolerance?
To determine how much death benefit makes sense, it's helpful to think beyond using life insurance to cover funeral expenses and consider whether anyone is relying on the policy owner's income to maintain a lifestyle, pay rent or a mortgage, or fund a child's education and for how long.
There are various rules of thumb regarding the right amount of Life insurance coverage. Some tips can be found online, but they only provide an estimate and don't necessarily factor in an individual's specific needs. In my opinion, human guidance, powered by technology, is required. Basically, it comes down to how much money your loved ones would need to remain on firm financial ground if your earnings were no longer in the picture and that is different for everyone."
What is the biggest opportunity you see for improvement in the life insurance industry?
"Increased accessibility through digital and other channels as well as through underwriting enhancements. Increased tailoring of products and features. And an increased emphasis on health and wellness programs."
"Having enough qualified insurance professionals to walk potential buyers through the multiple benefits of life insurance will be pivotal to the growth of the industry. Education is a key factor here, as professional agents also need to be able to explain life insurance and its benefits in an easy, digestible way, especially when there are so many misconceptions about life insurance."
"The need for life insurance is greater than ever. In fact, a recent New York Life Wealth Watch survey found that 37% of adults have been thinking about life insurance more often these days – and half of adults report that financial products that provide protection (50%) and reliability (50%) are more important now compared to last year. This may be especially true for middle-market and Cultural Market families.
Our organizational structure of having Cultural Market agents embedded in the communities where we live and work allows us to understand the needs of diverse communities and develop solutions that resonate with them."
What advice would you give to buyers who are debating whether or not to buy life insurance?
"It is difficult to say with any certainty how healthy you will be years from now. That's why securing life insurance, and insuring your insurability, today, when you are the youngest you'll ever be again, and perhaps your healthiest is a wise decision."
"Do you love someone? If the answer is yes, then life insurance is certainly something you should consider. Many buy gifts and experiences to express their love, but haven't considered that life insurance is just another way to say I love you. Nothing says support like ensuring your family's financial security and peace of mind."
"If you have someone depending on your income, you should consider purchasing life insurance. A death benefit from a life insurance policy can replace income from the loss of a breadwinner, ensure a family can stay in their home, fund educational or retirement expenses, address debt and so much more.
A life insurance policy can also help you grow your family's wealth over time. Once the risk of an unexpected loss has been managed, you can begin to think more broadly about your family's financial future. Life insurance can enable your mindset to shift from death to growth."
What's the most important thing buyers should look for when choosing a life insurance agent/company to buy from?
"With life insurance, you are securing a future commitment that may be decades away. Research the company behind the policy to ensure it has high financial strength ratings, longevity, and an excellent track record of paying claims."
"When looking for an insurance agent or company, be sure to do your research. When comparing companies, be sure to remember that the policy features that fit you and your loved ones best is the most important factor. Don't automatically assume you should buy from the higher-rated company.
If the policy from the other company has more of what you're looking for, it might be the better choice. If you're unsure where to start, try the Life Happens Agent Locator to find an insurance professional in your area."
- "The insurers' track record: At its core, life insurance is protection - a hedge against the unexpected - and you are paying premiums in exchange for the promise that the insurer will be there when you need them, so the financial strength and track record of the company backing your policy is critical.
- Customer service: Are service professionals available by phone and digital channels? Is there is an online dashboard where you can manage your policy? Beyond ensuring assistance is available after you purchase a policy, it's also critical to ensure you have access to trusted advice and guidance before you buy.
- Flexibility in conversion: How easy is it to change? Life can be unpredictable and while term insurance can cover your loved ones through a critical period of time, you may decide that access to cash value is an important piece of your strategy.
- Accelerated online applications : Online applications are convenient but don't replace human guidance. Keep in mind that accelerated online applications may have a maximum coverage amount, meaning that you may not be able to get all the coverage you may need exclusively through an online process.
- A range of payment options: It's important to understand how often you're required to make premium payments and whether and how often you can change the frequency of payments."
Best Life Insurance FAQs
According to JD Power's 2023 life insurance study, State Farm is the highest-rated life insurance company when it comes to overall customer satisfaction. However, you still may want to shop around for quotes from various insurers if you're looking to purchase a new policy.
There isn't one best life insurance company, because the best option for you will depend on the type of policy you're looking for. It's best to work with a qualified insurance agent to help you find the best coverage. If you're deciding between multiple similar options, it's also worth consulting J.D. Power's life insurance customer satisfaction study . The latest study ranks State Farm as the top pick for individual life insurance, outpacing Nationwide by three points.
The best type of life insurance policy for you will differ from someone else's, as your policy should be tailored to your needs. The best policy for you will be affordable and will offer the benefits best suited to your situation. For example, some policies are only meant to cover end-of-life expenses such as burial and funeral arrangements, whereas others include living benefits like a cash value insurance plan , which you can borrow against during your lifetime.
Some life insurance policies are advertised as "no medical exam." This doesn't mean the insurer won't ask you about known conditions or look at medical records. Policies with no medical exam also tend to offer lower benefits with higher premiums. Most companies have a network of medical examiners, some of whom can come to your home. You can find our guide on the best no exam life insurance here.
Each situation is different and requires a knowledgeable life insurance agent to assess your best options. Bring all your questions and the coverage you're looking for to an insurance agent near you to explore your options.
