What is working capital funding?

Working capital can support operating expenses such as payroll, inventory, marketing, equipment needs, expansion, or a defined seasonal bridge.

Available structures vary by provider. The right option should be reviewed against your normal deposits, slow periods, existing obligations, and expected return on the use of funds.

When working capital makes sense

Bridging a seasonal slowdown

Cover payroll and rent through the slow months without burning your reserves.

Funding a growth opportunity

Take that new contract, buy bulk inventory at a discount, or open a second location.

Smoothing cash flow

Pay suppliers on net-15 while you wait on net-60 invoices.

Investing in marketing

Spend ahead of revenue when you know the channel works.

Hiring before you scale

Get the team in place to handle the next phase.

Replacing emergency expenses

Equipment breakdown, unexpected repairs, urgent restocks.

Requirements

  • 6+ months in business
  • $10,000+ in monthly revenue
  • US-based business with a business bank account
  • Credit profile is one input in provider review

Cost structure, plain English.

Working capital uses a factor rate rather than an interest rate. You'll know your total repayment upfront — no surprise interest accumulation.

Costs depend on provider review, revenue profile, term, requested amount, and business history. Your specialist should walk you through available options before you commit.
