A small business is always in need of loans and actively keeps looking for viable financing options. These loans are mostly needed to meet the short-term financing obligations, which include paying vendors, making payroll, or taking on a new project that would be beneficial for the business in the future. What is better than to look for working capital loans that would not only help you run the business but also grow the business?

But one difficulty that many small business owners face is deciding which working capital loan option they should select for their business. Here in our blog, we have discussed some working capital loan options that can be availed by small businesses and start-ups.  These options can make things easier for you.

Invoice factoring

It is common for businesses that sell products or offer services on credit to either small or large commercial clients to receive delayed payments— 30 to 90 days later or sometimes even more than that. Many small business owners cannot afford to have delayed payments and need money earlier to pay off their expenses so as to run the operations smoothly.

To solve the issue, you have the option to factor your invoices. This, technically speaking, is not a loan and provides an advance that helps cover up for your slow paying invoices and immediately improves your cash flow.

Purchase order financing

One of the best options to deal with your expenses is to use purchase order financing. Mainly it is helpful for distributors and resellers who need to pay for their supplier expenses. It provides the adequate amount of funding that you need to cover the vendor expenses associated with a purchase order.

For small companies, a large order is an opportunity and a problem.  This option helps you seize the opportunity and grow your business while paying for it at the same time without any hassle.

Asset-based lending

This option is feasible for both small start-ups and mid-sized companies. It operates as a revolving financing facility that allows you to finance your assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory, pay for your corporate expenses and even for new investments that you wouldn’t have been able to pay otherwise.

Microloans

Microloans are those lines of credit that are specifically extended for small businesses by Small Business Administration (SBA). These loans even have easy qualification criteria. Often, business training is provided to you by SBA, which makes this even more attractive for small businesses.

Selecting a working capital loan entirely depends on the reason why the funds are needed, how much of them are needed, and what the track record of your company has been since its establishment.
