A Line of Credit That Works for Your Business
Get Flexible Terms
Flexibility is probably the biggest reason to opt for a business line of credit instead of business loans for financing (although both have their benefits). Whether you need the funds to buy new equipment, refinance existing debt, or get through short-term cash flow gaps, a business line of credit is perfect for any of those needs.
Standard commercial loans get approved for a specific purpose, but a business line of credit offers broader options for using the funds. That's why it can often be an excellent solution for business applicants who might need the money for many reasons.
Access Capital Without Tapping Into Equity
You probably want to maintain full control of your business, but if you need an equity loan for funding, that can be impossible to do. With equity loans, you need to give up a percentage of your business to get the funding, but a business line of credit from Suncoast gives you the same (subject to credit checks) money without having to sign any portion of your business over.
This is particularly useful if you want to use the money to expand or capitalize on exciting new opportunities — you might need to have one hundred percent control of the business to do what you need to do. This is where a business line of credit makes a lot of sense.
Build And Improve Your Credit History
Having a positive credit history is vital if you want to secure favorable loan terms for your business, and a line of credit gives you the ideal opportunity to build that credit opportunity by showing you're financially responsible.
Making timely repayments every month and using the credit line you're offered carefully will have a positive effect on your business's credit profile, opening doors to other credit products and lower interest rate options when you need them later on.
Business Line of Credit FAQ
Revolving lines of credit can help you manage fluctuating cash flow for seasonal working capital and are great for short-term credit needs like purchasing inventory, materials or equipment, financing accounts receivable, debt refinance, and small projects.
A business line of credit is a revolving credit account that works similarly to a credit card. As the borrower, it gives you a set credit limit you can draw funds from when you want to until you reach that limit. Unlike commercial loans, where you receive a lump sum upfront, a business line of credit allows you to access the money when needed. It’s a really flexible way to borrow only what you need to make up for fluctuations in cash flow, make urgent purchases, and more.
Running a successful business means thinking hard about financing and planning as much as possible to ensure you can grow when ready. As vital as planning is, entrepreneurs often find themselves in situations where quick access to funds is crucial for seizing opportunities, dealing with unexpected challenges, or keeping up with day-to-day operations during lulls. This is where a business line of credit comes in, giving you what you need when you need it to help keep your business afloat. Here are some of the benefits of accessing these funds with Suncoast.
