How a Working Capital Loan Can Work for You

Every business should have cash on hand to cover both planned and unexpected expenses. Cash reserves help cover the everyday fluctuations faced by your business. For those who don’t have the cash flow for everyday expenses, we offer working capital loans to give you access to cash when you need it most.

A working capital loan is used for everyday financial operations for small businesses that are lacking current cash flow. Working capital loans are used for short-term needs rather than long-term needs, assets, or investments. This loan type is used to sustain business growth on a daily basis to help you visualize long-term success.

Hire More Staff

• Hire new employees to support your business growth
• Make sure payroll is covered so your workers are paid on time

Finance Equipment

• Replace outdated equipment with newer models
• Cover the cost of equipment maintenance or repairs

Add Inventory

• Introduce new items or services to drive revenue for your business
• Stock more best-selling items during your busy selling seasons

Manage Cash Flow

• Maintain daily operations even through gaps in cash flow
• Continue running your business seamlessly during seasonal lulls

What are the Benefits of Working Capital Loans?

A working capital loan is the quickest and easiest way for small businesses to receive the funding they need to achieve their full business potential. When businesses don’t have the funding for current expenses, a working capital loan can help make up the financial shortcomings until the business is stable. These funds can go towards whichever expenses need immediate attention to help you grow your business.

Be Better Prepared for the Future

Businesses that are prepared for current financial payments are better prepared for the future growth of their business. For businesses to see long-term success, business owners need to make sure they have the cash flow to keep their business afloat. Without this preparation, businesses will run into late payments, decreased credit scores, and higher interest rates on business loans. By applying for a working capital loan, it will help you with a shortage of short-term financial resources when your business needs it most.

Maintain Ownership of Your Business

Traditional equity investors likely require you to give up a percentage of your business in return for funding, which gives some of the ownership power to the investor. With a working capital loan from a bank or a financial institution like National Funding, you continue to hold ownership over your business and are only required to make the payments that are agreed upon.

Working Capital Loans With No Collateral Required

Some working capital loans require collateral of some sort, but we provide working capital without collateral. Business owners can maintain ownership of their assets while taking out a working capital loan. When applying for a working capital loan, we look at the current status of your business which helps us determine the loan amount that suits your business.

Provides Financial Flexibility

Working capital loans can be used for paying employees, purchasing equipment, paying bills, and more. No matter the financial needs, working capital loans allow financial flexibility to help you with your business needs.

FAQ: Working Capital Loans

Finding the cash your business needs to pay bills or take on the competition isn't always straightforward. Like most business owners, you probably have questions about loans and financing options. We put together some of the most common questions about working capital loans to help you get the answers you need.

Is it hard to get a working capital loan?

Many business owners assume getting capital loans is a long, drawn-out process. Luckily, it doesn’t have to be that way! Alternative lenders like National Funding provide loans for businesses with easy online applications and quick response times. In fact, you could see your loan application approved in as little as 24 hours.1.

Most definitions of working capital include cash. This is because business capital is your current assets minus your current liabilities. Cash, like the money you get from a loan, plays an important role in running the current operations of your business.

Your business’ cash reserves and assets can give you a great snapshot of how well you are using business resources. If your business has a lot of assets, including cash, inventory, and accounts receivable, with only a few liabilities, your business is probably in a good place financially. Sometimes, however, you have to wait for a customer to pay an invoice or you need to purchase new inventory and don’t have the cash. That’s where financing solutions can help your business bridge the gap between cash on hand and expected receivables.

It might sound counterintuitive, but securing a business loan while sales are up could be a smart move financially. Your working capital loan can be used for more than just overdue bills. For example, your restaurant is packed every night, and you have to turn customers away because you're too busy. You decide to move to a new location but to afford the new spot, you'll need extra cash. You could use a loan to help cover the costs of the move, including hiring more servers and installing kitchen equipment.

A term loan is a long-term loan for funding large capital assets. This contrasts with working capital loans which are borrowed for a shorter term and are for operational costs rather than investing in capital assets.

You can apply for a working capital loan by filling out an application form with basic financial information about your business. Apply for a working capital loan from National Funding here.

(2) Early payoff discounts:

National Funding offers special opportunities for its customers to terminate contracts early and receive a discount in the process.  Equipment Finance customers who pay off the total remaining balance early,  at any point during the contract, will automatically receive a 6% discount off the total remaining balance.   Working Capital customers who pay off the total remaining balance in full within the first 100 days of the contract will automatically receive a 7% discount off the total remaining balance.  We do not currently offer a discount on our lease contracts. Customers must pay off the balance in full, be current, and in good standing to take advantage of the discount within the time parameters.

 

(3) Automatic payments:

Loan payments are withdrawn via Automatic Clearing House (ACH) Monday through Friday excluding bank holidays.

 

(4) Wide variety of payment options:

  • Equipment Financing: payments are remitted monthly with terms of 2-5 years
  • Working Capital Loan: payments can be remitted daily or weekly with terms of 4 months up to 24 months

 

(5) Potential Tax Savings:

The Section 179 Tax Deduction allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and/or software purchased or financed during the tax year. Meaning, if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct 100% of the purchase price from your gross income. You can secure the equipment, tools, and technology you need, while also taking advantage of significant tax deductions - up to $1,000,000. Consult your tax professional for more details.

 

(6) Guaranteed lowest payment:

Pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in these Rules and Restrictions of the Guaranteed Lowest Payment, National Funding guarantees to provide the lowest payment on equipment leased through National Funding, for lease terms from 24 to 60 months, or to pay $1000 towards qualifying executed leases. Lease payment comparisons must be based on a lease in excess of $10,000, for approved equipment, and with the same terms and conditions as those offered by National Funding within seven days that the National Funding terms are issued. To be eligible, customers must provide a competitive lease quote without contingencies, and vendor invoice, and in the name of the lessee within seven calendar days of the date National Funding issues its terms. Guarantee only valid on competitive equipment leases. Equipment finance agreements do not qualify.

In the event that the monthly lease payment amount from the competing lease company or bank is lower than the monthly payment that is being offered by National Funding for the same equipment and pursuant to the same terms, National Funding will verify the validity and accuracy of the competing leasing company’s or bank’s payment options, terms and the vendor quote. National Funding has the option, in its sole discretion, to either beat the competing leasing company’s or bank’s monthly payment rate, or pay $1000 to the lessee. The lessee must provide National Funding with the competing company’s or bank’s signed lease agreement with payment terms/options, and take delivery of the equipment. Payments will be made within 30 days, and lessee is responsible for any taxes.

The Guaranteed Lowest Payment is available to both new and established customers of National Funding. This offer is valid for new lease applications only. The Guaranteed Lowest Payment is not retroactive — a previously funded equipment lease with National Funding is not eligible for the Guaranteed Lowest Payment. Only non-contingent offers of lease terms and payment are eligible. Offers made to lessee that include subsidization by manufacturers and/or vendors will not be considered in comparing competing offers.

The Guaranteed Lowest Payment may be discontinued at any time without notice.

To participate in the Guaranteed Lowest Payment program, if you have a lease agreement and vendor quote which you believe will qualify for the program, contact your National Funding Lease Manager.
