It's the nature of business to be cyclical. This means your businesses cash flow will find their own high and low points throughout the seasons, and throughout the years. Will you make it from this ebb to the next flow? Would getting a cash infusion in the form of a business line of credit help you?
A small business line of credit allows a business owner to draw against a specified amount of financing on an as-needed basis. The advantage of a business credit line is that you only pay interest on the funds you actually draw, so you’re not stuck paying interest on capital you don’t have an immediate use for. If you’re a business owner taking out a line of credit, you’ll be spending that flexible cash on seasonal business expenses, payroll and other operational costs, insurance against emergencies and for sudden growth opportunities. In other words, as a cushion of cash flow. It’s there for you when you need it most.
Certain businesses, such as retail establishments, benefit more from lines of credit because of the predictable variations in cash flow. Seasonal changes in sales mean earnings fluctuate on a set schedule, and extra money is often needed to continue operations during slow times. When you’re able to anticipate these financial needs, you can rely on a line of credit to provide security.
