Opened a business that will generate $2500 a month for a four year term. I borrowed 34k at 5.95% on a 36 month term. Should I a pay off the loan ASAP or spread it out over three years? tax purposes, interest, cash reserve.. Etc

I am inclined to say no. Cash flow can swing hard and fast (like my pecker) and you may need that money.

No, don't pay it asap. Take the tax deductions, build cash flow, and establish your business first.

If you can be that exact, it sounds like you need some more leverage.

What kind of business is it?

Too many variables to answer, but I would think about trying to convert it into a line of credit somehow. That way you can pay off now and draw on it later if your revenue projections wind up being optimistic.
