How a Line of Credit Can Help Your Business

A line of credit allows you to draw money quickly, without having to reapply each time you need it. If you’re approved for a line of credit, you’ll be given a maximum amount you can borrow. You can use up to that amount over time, as you need it. And, you’ll only pay interest on the amount you’ve used, not on your maximum limit.  Here are some other key benefits:

Cash Flow Support

Have a temporary gap between revenue and expenditures or get hit with an unexpected expense? Maybe you have a seasonal business and need some help to tide you over in the off season. Just draw from your line of credit to cover what you need.

Growth and Other Opportunities

Imagine your business suddenly takes off. If you need to increase inventory quickly, need more space or can get lower prices if you buy larger amounts, a line of credit can help you seize the day!
