Both revolving credit and business loans make sense to use for short-term and immediate expenses, as well as purchases and repairs when it comes to your business. There are specific situations where one is better than the other, even when the issue is similar.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A piece of equipment breaking during a busy season is a good example. If the repair is\u00a0something\u00a0that you\u00a0can recoup the\u00a0cost of\u00a0quickly, revolving credit\u00a0is a good\u00a0option\u00a0if\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0already been approved\u00a0or\u00a0using a credit line.\u00a0This is because you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have to re-apply\u00a0for access to funding, like you would with a brand-new\u00a0business loan that does a hard inquiry and\u00a0typically\u00a0requires\u00a0payments over\u00a0a longer\u00a0period.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the repair person is not available for at least a month or parts\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be available for a few months, a\u00a0<\/span>small business loan<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in the form of equipment financing may be better.\u00a0You\u2019ll\u00a0be able to\u00a0purchase\u00a0or lease new equipment to keep your business functioning and sell the damaged equipment or\u00a0simply\u00a0have bandwidth to wait until it can be repaired.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0stuck\u00a0choosing\u00a0between\u00a0revolving credit\u00a0and\u00a0business loans,\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0stress. Below\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0learn about what both are, the similarities and differences,\u00a0and\u00a0then\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0learn about\u00a0situations where one is better than the other.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Revolving Credit<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Revolving credit is a type of debt financing where you are approved for a sum of\u00a0money\u00a0that\u00a0you can borrow at\u00a0will,\u00a0and it replenishes as you pay it back. This includes credit cards, lines of credit,\u00a0CAPlines, and any other type of financing that replenishes as it is paid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Revolving credit can include annual fees, interest fees if you carry a balance, and usage fees depending on the type. It can have a negative impact on your business and personal credit scores if you do not make payments on time, and if a hard inquiry is made when applying.\u00a0<\/span>Most types are reported to credit bureaus, which can have\u00a0both\u00a0positive and negative impacts on your credit\u00a0utilization\u00a0ratio\u2014a key factor in\u00a0determining\u00a0<\/span>your\u00a0<\/span>business credit score<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Revolving credit is a good financing choice when you have expenses that can be paid back quickly before interest kicks in, or that will cost less with a few interest payments\u00a0compared to\u00a0a business loan,\u00a0which could require 6 months to 3 years of payments. It also makes sense when you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have time to apply for a business loan, or when the amount is not high enough to justify the interest payments\u00a0or\u00a0the\u00a0length of\u00a0time\u00a0you’ll\u00a0be\u00a0carrying the\u00a0debt.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Business Loans<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Business loans are a type of debt financing where a company borrows money from a lender and makes payments with interest on a fixed schedule that is outlined in the loan agreement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Business loans can be short-term loans,<\/span><\/a>\u00a0meaning under three years, or long-term which can be three to\u00a010\u00a0years on average, with some SBA loans for real estate lasting 25 years.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are multiple\u00a0<\/span>types of business loans<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with each being designed for specific purposes like\u00a0<\/span>equipment financing<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to buy or lease new and used equipment,\u00a0<\/span>working capital loans<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to cover operating costs, and\u00a0<\/span>inventory financing<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to stock up for a busy season or keep up with demand.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Business loans are a good financing solution when you won\u2019t be able to pay the debt back before the first interest payment is due, when you want to spread the expense over a longer period of time,\u00a0or\u00a0when you need to make larger purchases.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How\u00a0They\u2019re\u00a0Similar and Different<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

While\u00a0both\u00a0revolving credit and business loans are types of debt financing and can require interest payments, they have a few differences.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Situations to Use Either Revolving Credit or Business Loans<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

While these two types of financing are\u00a0very similar, they\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0always work the same based on your situation.\u00a0Here\u00a0are\u00a0a few times\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0need to choose between revolving credit versus a business loan, and which to go with.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Utilities and Monthly Expenses<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Utilities including electricity and water, or monthly expenses like rent, warehousing, software subscriptions, and janitorial services can be covered by either one. It comes down to how much you need, the options available to make payments, and if\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0need to keep cash reserves freed up.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Credit cards can be used to cover most of these and be added to service providers for automatic payments, so if your monthly expenses are minimal and you make credit card payments before a balance becomes due, revolving credit is perfect.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A business loan makes more sense than a credit card if your card is going to be needed for a sizable\u00a0purchase,\u00a0or you need to keep cash reserves and emergency funds clear. If\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0covering the costs of\u00a0point-of-sale\u00a0equipment software but also need to replace or upgrade equipment, a business loan can make more sense.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The business loan lets you pay a lower interest rate and spreads payments across a longer period while you recover the costs via the new equipment. Having your revolving credit available gives you a safety net for unexpected emergencies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vehicles, Machinery, and Equipment<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you only need to repair a machine or a vehicle, revolving credit is\u00a0likely your\u00a0best bet. The costs are not high enough to justify a business loan, and you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have to wait for\u00a0approval\u00a0if you already have access to a line of credit or a credit card.\u00a0If the vehicles or machinery are not operational but vital, each day\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0not running costs\u00a0you\u00a0money, so having the immediate access to cash flow via revolving credit makes\u00a0sense.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the equipment, machinery, or vehicles need replacing and you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have the cash flow to buy them outright, a business loan in the form of equipment financing is the better\u00a0option. The equipment and vehicles can\u00a0likely be\u00a0used as\u00a0collateral\u00a0and\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0be spreading the costs over a longer\u00a0time period\u00a0with a lower interest rate than revolving credit. This gives you time to\u00a0make\u00a0your money back.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you need to rent equipment or vehicles for a project, both can be a good\u00a0option. If you recover the money each month and the rental is short term, go with revolving credit.\u00a0\u00a0When you\u00a0have to\u00a0wait for accounts receivable after the project is completed or the money\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be recovered\u00a0immediately, a business loan is the better choice as\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0have a lower interest rate while you wait for funds to come in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Business Expansions<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Growing\u00a0your existing company by increasing\u00a0production or\u00a0adding\u00a0additional\u00a0locations can\u00a0happen with\u00a0both business loans and revolving credit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A business loan is better than revolving credit for\u00a0opportunities that require a larger amount of money, like opening a second location and needing capital for a new lease, inventory, equipment, and furniture.\u00a0It can also be used for training, licensing, and any permits that are\u00a0required.\u00a0You\u2019ll\u00a0be making lower fixed payments\u00a0compared to\u00a0if\u00a0you would\u00a0carry\u00a0a balance with\u00a0higher interest via\u00a0revolving credit.\u00a0This\u00a0allows you to get profitable over a longer period of time with less strain on your finances.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Revolving credit can be perfect for covering smaller amounts\u00a0like\u00a0making\u00a0payroll, s<\/span>ecuring inventory that you need quickly when\u00a0there’s\u00a0no time to apply for a loan<\/span>, and other short-term expenses that\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0recover quickly. If the freezer at the location goes out, a business credit card or business line of credit lets you restock it that same day, and you\u2019ll begin recovering the costs as the food is cooked and served, helping you make the payment before a balance comes due.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Both revolving credit and business loans are good for short- and long-term expenses, but revolving credit is better when you\u2019ll pay the balance off quickly or before interest on the balance is due, and business loans are better when you need larger amounts of financing and over longer periods of time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
