Frequently Asked Questions

Here are common questions our customers ask. For other questions, check our Help Center.

What is First Circle?

First Circle is an SEC-registered financing company in the Philippines that specializes in business loans for growing SMEs. We do this through our Revolving Credit Line product, which helps businesses fund expansion, cover cash flow gaps, and manage their working capital in general.

What is a Revolving Credit Line?

A Revolving Credit Line is like a credit card for your business. It gives you the flexibility to borrow money within a set limit whenever you need it. Once you've taken a business loan from your credit line, just pay it back to access your full credit limit again. Re-use your credit limit as many times as you want!

Why choose First Circle?

Our mission is to be the biggest driver of SME growth in Southeast Asia, and we believe the only way to do this is by creating long-term partnerships with our customers. By choosing First Circle, you are not just choosing a business loan provider. You are choosing a partner that's dedicated to your long-term growth.
