What is a Business Line of Credit?
A Business Line of Credit is a revolving loan that gives business owners access to a fixed amount of money. They can use this money in their everyday operations according to their cash requirements.
You can use the funds up to your approved amount, then repay what you’ve used to make the funds available again. They are specifically designed to help businesses finance short-term working capital needs, such as purchasing inventory or repairing equipment, making payroll, financing marketing campaigns.

Upon opening a Business Line of Credit, you’ll receive access to a fixed amount of funds that you can use as per your needs. Every month, you’ll receive an invoice reflecting the amount of credit you have used, along with any interest charges.
Your payment depends on the actual interest accrued on these funds while you use them. Once the funds are repaid, that amount is again released for your utilization. You are only charged interest on the amount of the loan you actually use.
The rates and limits of a Business Line of Credit are set by lenders. They depend on factors like your risk grade, collateral, and any servicing requirements. Your risk grade is ascertained on the basis of factors like the state of your business sector in general, the financial success of your business, your business and personal credit scores, and the availability of collateral.

Types of Business Line of Credit
- Secured Line of Credit: In this type of business line of credit, the business must pledge assets as collateral to secure the loan. Lenders will typically ask for short-term assets since a Line of Credit is a short-term liability.
- Unsecured Line of Credit: This does not require assets as collateral. The lack of collateral means a higher risk to lenders. So, to get an unsecured Line of Credit, you’ll need stronger credit and a positive business track record.
