What to Know

What Counts as Working Capital

Working capital is the cash a business needs to cover its day-to-day operating costs -- payroll, rent, inventory, utilities, and supplier payments -- as distinct from long-term investments like equipment or real estate. A working capital loan bridges temporary gaps between revenue and expenses so operations continue uninterrupted.

Product Options

Term loans deliver a lump sum with a fixed repayment schedule, typically 3-24 months. Lines of credit offer revolving access with interest only on drawn funds. Merchant cash advances provide fast funding repaid as a percentage of daily card sales. Invoice financing advances funds against outstanding receivables. The right product depends on your revenue pattern and use case.

Cost and Approval

Working capital rates range from 8% APR for prime bank products to 1.1-1.4 factor rates on merchant cash advances. Most lenders want 6+ months in business and $10,000+ monthly revenue; some short-term lenders approve with 3 months and $5,000 revenue. Funding speed ranges from same-day to one week.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best type of working capital loan?
It depends on the use case. A line of credit is most flexible for recurring gaps. A term loan is simplest for a known one-time need. A merchant cash advance offers speed but the highest cost -- use only when other options are not available.
How fast can I get funded?
Short-term working capital products fund in as little as 24 hours. Lines of credit and term loans typically fund in 1-5 business days. Bank products take longer -- often 1-3 weeks.
What documents do I need?
Most online lenders want 3-6 months of business bank statements, a voided check, and a photo ID. Larger loans may require tax returns and financial statements.
What credit score is required?
Most working capital lenders approve personal credit of 550+, with the best rates for 680+. Revenue and cash flow matter as much as credit for short-term products.
Can I have multiple working capital loans?
Yes, but stacking multiple advances on the same revenue creates daily payment pressure that can strangle cash flow. Consolidating into a single line of credit is usually healthier than layering products.
Are payments daily, weekly, or monthly?
Varies by product. Merchant cash advances and some short-term loans take daily ACH. Lines of credit and term loans are usually weekly or monthly. Match the payment cadence to your revenue cycle.
