Business is growing and needing cash?

26/9/2017

 
As a small business owner, you have probably experienced things which others haven’t. There is a few times where money will and have been tight. But there is that little voice in your head telling you that the periods where this happens, they only pop up once in a while, but looking throughout the bigger picture, sometimes you will need a little (or bigger) infusion of money to keep pushing through the difficult time you and your business are having. 
Being a small business owner things can go wrong very easily such as you could expand to quickly, for example you could hire too many employees, and/or order excess inventory, you could also deplete your financial resources and crash. But the main reason for this is probably because you don’t want to take any chances or that you want to prepare your business for growth which probably will not happen until you are out of the early stages. Plus, you won’t be able to respond in an efficient manner when you finally get the big deal you’ve been waiting for. But don’t worry. We have you back. 
  1. Online lenders 
If you need to sizable loan, you will need to go through a traditional bank or lender. However, if you need only a modest amount of cash, online lending may be the way to go. Thanks to the new technology we have, online lending has become faster and more efficient. A solid entrepreneur can reasonably expect to receive some form of loan within a few hours of contacting an online lender, the only problem is that the rates can be either surprisingly competitive or stupidly high!** 
  1. Line-of-credit loans 
One of the most useful loans for growing businesses and start-ups is the line-of-credit loan. With a line of credit, your business gets approved for a certain amount of money for a specified period of time (typically one year). Should you need the money, you simply withdraw on the line of credit as if it were cash in your bank. If you don’t need it, you can leave it there and avoid paying interests. This kind of load offers the best of both worlds when you aren’t sure how much you’ll need, or when you’ll need it. ** 
  1. Receivable financing (factoring) 
One of the classic methods of financing a growing business involves selling your accounts receivable to a financial institution (often known as a factor). The factor advances a portion of the recievables, likely 75% to 90% of the value, and then holds on to the remaining portion. The benefit of receivables financing is that you are able to get money fast, without compromising orders or cash flow. It’s a good solution for businesses that have orders coming in, but don’t have the money to fill those orders. 
**But remember if you borrow money this way, you will have to pay this money back, just like if you borrowed the money from online lenders, if they don’t get the money back you could end up in debt and your business will crash from this.** 
Scaling for growth requires patience, diligence and foresight. Not only do you have to get rid of the parts that are weighing you down, but you also have to think about how you can add valuable assets as you push your business forward, think about financing early and often so you can have the resources available which will make sure that you are ready to take chances and accept the new challenges that your business will give you when they arise.
