A business line of credit is a type of revolving credit that allows you to draw funds from a set credit limit. You can draw as much—or as little—as you need and you’ll typically only pay interest on what you borrow. Similar to a business credit card, as you repay a revolving line of credit the funds become available to borrow again. Unlike a credit card, a line of credit allows you to draw cash that will be deposited into your business checking account.
Because of these features, business lines of credit are a flexible financial tool that are great for managing cash flow and funding long-term projects. They can also act as a safety net, ensuring you have access to working capital in the event of an emergency expense or surprise opportunity.
