Business Line of Credit

A business line of credit is the one product most operators regret not having the first time cash gets tight. It waits in the background with zero cost to carry, you pull from it when a real opportunity or a real gap shows up, and the interest meter only runs on the dollars that leave the account.

Overview

What a line of credit is really for.

A line of credit is a standing facility, not a one-time loan. The lender sets your ceiling. You pull what you need, pay it back as receivables land, and the balance resets so you can pull again. That is why it fits the situations a term loan handles badly: making payroll when a big invoice is two weeks late, buying inventory at a discount you did not plan for last quarter, bridging a slow stretch without panic.

You only pay interest on the balance you are carrying at the moment, so an untouched line costs close to nothing to leave in place. Most of the operators we work with open one before they need it and keep it idle until the numbers say otherwise. That is the point. A line of credit is insurance you can deploy.

Common questions

Things people ask before applying.

A term loan hands you one lump sum and you pay it back on a fixed schedule whether you used it yet or not. A line of credit gives you ongoing access up to a limit. You draw, repay, and draw again as the business dictates, and interest only applies to what is outstanding at any given time.

No. Plenty of our clients never touch their line until a specific situation calls for it. An idle line usually costs nothing beyond a small annual maintenance fee from the lender, if that.

Most lines fund in 24 to 72 hours once your underwriter has the paperwork they need. The higher the limit and the more hands-on the lender, the longer the file takes to move through committee.

Smaller lines are typically unsecured. Once you get into the mid-six figures and above, lenders usually want a business guarantee or a personal guarantee. Your underwriter walks you through the specific structure before you sign anything.
