When can a business line of credit help?
A line of credit may be useful for:
- Purchasing inventory
- Covering seasonal expenses
- Hiring seasonal or temporary staff
- Managing short-term cash flow gaps
- Making equipment upgrades
- Responding to unexpected operating expenses
- Taking advantage of time-sensitive opportunities
Term loan or line of credit?
A term loan is generally better suited for a defined, one-time investment with a planned repayment schedule.
A business line of credit may make more sense when you want ongoing access to working capital and do not know exactly when or how much you will need to borrow.
