7 Key Advantages of a Business Line of Credit

A Business Line of Credit is a flexible funding solution that provides you with quick access to cash whenever you need it. It works similar to a credit card—you get approved for a specific credit limit and can use what you need, when you need it. A Business Line of Credit is an extremely attractive solution for small to medium sized businesses who sometimes need access to capital to maintain their operations. Here are a 7 of the key advantages:

  1. Ongoing Access to Capital
    Funds are always available whenever you need them, making a Line of Credit an excellent option every time you need extra capital. Since a Line of Credit is revolving, you can take some of if it or all of it as often as you choose. Once you’ve paid down the balance of the amount you’ve used, the funds replenish, and you can take them again without having to go through another application or approval.
  2. There Are No Prepayment Penalties
    You have the freedom to pay off any amount you want early and without penalties or hidden fees.
  3. Flexibility
    You can use your Line of Credit funds for a variety of purposes and can draw any amount that you need, up to your pre-approved credit limit. Use the money for marketing costs, to purchase new software, to help you cover payroll, to manage a surprise expense like a broken piece of equipment, to stock up on inventory, or even to consolidate an existing debt.
  4. Only Pay for What You Use
    Many small businesses set up a Line of Credit when things are going well in order to have a safety net in the event of hard times. You can use the cash whenever you need it, and you only pay interest on the amount you borrow.
  5. No Collateral Needed
    With our Lines of Credit, there is no collateral required, meaning it is an unsecured loan.
  6. Low Interest Rates
    Unlike business credit cards, Business Lines of Credit boast very low interest rates. Plus, after a few steady payments, you may qualify for an increase in your credit limit and a lower rate. The interest you pay on your line of credit may be tax-deductible.
  7. Peace of Mind
    Many business owners like having ongoing access to available funds 24/7 in case of emergency. Being able to quickly withdraw those funds provides peace of mind knowing that you’re prepared for whatever life throws your way.
