One of the biggest challenges facing smaller business today, is access to working capital. An ever-changing economic environment has meant that businesses must develop and expand to remain competitive but investing in resource and infrastructure can sometimes leave a business exposed and cash flow tight day to day.
There are different kinds of working capital loans for small business, and business owners will need to assess the exact financial requirement and ensure that any working capital loan agreement that they enter is flexible and does not put the business under any further financial pressure. Unexpected costs such as tax bills, vehicle or machinery failure or recruitment bills can impact on the cash available and negatively affect the working capital position of the business, in these circumstances a loan or cash advance can be hugely valuable.
Like most loans, working capital loan interest rates can be quite high and so it’s important that small business owners investigate thoroughly, the various types of working capital loans on the market.
A good alternative to a working capital business loan is a business cash advance, as it approval and funding times are as quick as working capital loans, but the repayment schedule is far more flexible as the amount funded is only prepaid when the business is paid by its customers. A merchant cash advance mirrors the cash flow of business, it has no APRs or fixed terms, and repayments mirror the transactional activity going through a business debit and credit card machines. If a business is having a good month more is paid back, and if a business is having a slower month the advance repayment is less. A small business need not be concerned with high fixed loan repayments at times when cash is tight.
Seasonal fluctuations and temporary dips in incoming revenue may require that the business seek out funding to help it overcome a tight period. It is important that in these circumstances flexible, fast finance is available that does not put the business under any further financial strain.
High interest rates and longer-term loans that have inflexible repayment terms may at first seem like a positive solution, but on closer inspection, its products like these that can inhibit the growth and performance of a business by putting even further pressure and strain on cash flow.
Predictable borrowing is something offered by a working capital loan, the cost of borrowing should scale with the amount of capital drawn down from the loan. If the business has no requirement for finance in a given month it need not draw on the capital available and in so doing would not incur further interest charges. Borrowing costs are therefore kept to a minimum and there is no unnecessary additional expense to the business. A business can however operate with confidence know that a line of credit is available should they require it.
