When to get a working capital loan
If your business operates on a seasonal sales model, you may experience quiet months. Working capital loans can help ease the everyday expenses at this time, and help you prepare for the busy season.
It’s quite common, particularly during quieter periods, for businesses to run out of working capital before paying employees. A working capital loan is a great way to bridge payment periods and keep your business working capital steady.
Using working capital finance to purchase extra stock is a great way to ensure you don’t miss out on any potential profits, and can help you purchase larger quantities at lower prices.
When sales are flying, payments can still be delayed. Working capital loans can help cover operational costs until payments come in.
Working capital loans FAQs
Working capital is the difference between the current assets of a business and its current liabilities. It’s used as a way to measure efficiency and short-term financial health, and it basically shows how much free cash is on hand to deal with the day-to-day operational costs. An SME working capital loan is used for covering everyday business operations.
Working capital loans aren’t used for investments, expansions or long-term asset purchases, but to cover short-term business operations, such as accounts payable and wages.
Businesses that have seasonal demand or cyclical sales cycles will often have periods of extremely high sales activity followed by quieter ones. Often, a business will use this type of finance during slower periods.
With some lenders, yes. But our loans are unsecured. With an unsecured working capital loan, you don’t need collateral – unlike secured working capital loans where property or other assets serve as collateral for the loan. So you won’t have to put up your property or other assets to access funds.
The speed of this type of finance is one of its biggest benefits to small businesses. Fast working capital loans enable business owners to quickly and efficiently access finance options to cover any gaps.
Your business’ cash flow will often fluctuate over time. A short-term business loan is perfect for this, as it’s flexible in both loan terms and funding amount. These short-term loans are designed to suit everyday business expenses such as salaries, bills, stock, and rent.
