Working Capital Loans
Every business, whether large or small, can benefit from additional working capital, no matter the financial circumstances. It is to no surprise that cash flow can be affected by unforeseen conditions including, but not limited to, natural disasters, changes in supply and demand, or even local extenuating circumstances. In these cases, a Working Capital Loan alleviates the financially burdensome hurdles that come with the difficult circumstances. While other business capital products are centered on the idea of long-term investments that incur massive expenses, a working capital loan allows businesses to resolve temporary revenue and cash flow dilemmas with ease in shorter periods of time. With this advantage, everyday expenses like payroll, new/upgraded equipment or even extra space can allow a prospering small business to get jumpstart on new opportunities.
Even if your business does not need a large amount of capital, a working capital loan may be the best solution for your short-term needs!

Companies often do not have to provide specifics on how the money will be used so repayment terms will be tailored to fit your cash flow and/or circumstance at hand. Standard short-term loans can span time periods as short as 3 to as long as several years depending on type of need and what works best for your overall financial health.

- Merchant Cash Advance – This funding product can be optimal for bridging a shorter gap in cash flow.

What are the disadvantages of a Working Capital Loan?
- With the understanding that the requirements for a Working Capital Loan are less strict, it is to be expected that there is an elevated risk in lending. Business owners with suboptimal credit, little to no cash flow or those in operation less than one year tend to be candidates with higher risk. Online lenders generally have higher interest rates with shorter terms. A Working Capital Loan should be explored if there is a temporary cash flow dilemma as higher interest rates can put a small business in jeopardy if the business is not likely to recover.
- Because a Working Capital Loan often comes with lower borrowing amounts than an SBA Loan and Business Term Loans, it would be inadvisable to use a Working Capital Loan for expensive initiatives such as lengthy renovations. Instead, the Working Capital Loan is ideal for short term goals.
