UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS

What is working capital?

Working capital is money available for the daily costs of running a business. It helps cover the gap between money going out and customer payments coming in.

Working capital funding may help when payroll, supplies, rent, inventory, or vendor bills are due before the business receives expected revenue. Because funding has a cost, the repayment plan should fit the company’s normal cash flow.

What can working capital help cover?

PayrollSupport regular payroll when incoming payments are delayed.
InventoryPurchase stock before a busy season or larger customer order.
Supplies and vendorsPay for materials, operating supplies, and important vendor bills.
Short-term cash gapsManage timing differences between business expenses and receivables.
A SIMPLE EXAMPLE

A business needs to buy inventory before its busy season begins. Working capital may help place the order. The owner should first compare the funding cost and payment schedule with expected sales and normal operating expenses.

This example explains a possible use. It is not a client story, approval, or funding offer.

REVIEW THE CASH FLOW

Questions to ask before using working capital

01

What creates the cash gap?

Identify the expense, when it is due, and when related revenue may arrive.

02

How often are payments due?

Daily, weekly, and monthly schedules can affect cash flow differently.

03

What is the total cost?

Review the full repayment amount, interest or factor, and every fee.

04

Can slower sales be managed?

Consider whether the business can still pay bills and the new obligation.
