Business Lines of Credit

Credit lines provide cash availability during seasonal or short-term needs for Goldenwest business members

A business line of credit is similar to a credit card, used for business purposes. Credit lines provide cash availability during seasonal or short-term needs. Business lines of credit are easily accessible compared to loans, and they are not tied to a single expense. Business owners commonly use lines of credit to pay for situations such as payroll, inventory, seasonal expenses, overhead costs, and emergency funds. Businesses can apply for secured and unsecured lines of credit.

 

  UNSECURED SECURED
Higher rates compared to loans Yes Yes
Draw or maintenance fees Yes Yes
Can be used for many business purposes Yes Yes
Credit is tied to collateral   Yes
Lower interest rates   Yes
Higher credit limit   Yes
Sign a personal guarantee and/or a UCC blanket lien Yes  

 

Both forms of credit lines are good for business owners who need quick cash and flexible spending options. Most lines of credit have a draw fee, which is similar to an originator fee. For example, if you have a draw fee of 1% and you request $1,000, your lender will deduct $10 and you will receive $990. If you do not have a draw fee, a maintenance fee is probably charged. That is a flat fee charged on a periodic basis such as $10 per month.

A business credit card is an alternative to a business line of credit.
