What are the benefits of using a business line of credit?

The number-one reason to open a business line of credit is to gain access to short-term funding. Most businesses use these funds to support financing for operational expenses like supplies and payroll or for increasing inventory. Cyclical businesses often rely on an unsecured line of credit as a source of off-season working capital. It’s a good choice for small businesses looking for ways to better manage cash flow.

What is required to obtain a small business line of credit?

Be sure to research the specifics of any lender’s business line of credit requirements. For example, many banks will require a business to have been under current ownership for some fixed amount of time. Rates for a business line of credit tend to be lower than those for a business credit card, which can charge more than 20% APR for purchases — and even more than that for cash advances.

What is a small business line of credit?

A small business line of credit has more in common with a small business credit card than with a small business loan. Like a small business loan, an unsecured line of credit provides a business with access to money that can be used to address any business expense that arises. Unlike a small business loan, however, there’s no lump-sum disbursement made at account opening that requires a subsequent monthly payment.
