What is a revolving loan
A revolving loan is issued to companies and entrepreneurs to replenish business working capital. Money is taken for a short period of time to support the current processes of the enterprise and quickly returned back. Lending allows you to increase sales and expand the company’s capabilities without attracting the founders’ own funds.
How does a revolving loan work?
The organization borrows money, uses funds to develop the business, and repays the loan. In this way, the entrepreneur earns money himself and brings benefits to the lender. This type of loan is taken out for a short period, usually no more than 2-3 years. The program is available to a company that has already opened an account with the selected bank or is applying for the first time.
Who is a revolving loan suitable for?
In 2024, revolving credit is available to individual entrepreneurs or LLCs. Such financing is beneficial for business for the following purposes:
Maintaining stock balances. If a company buys goods abroad and knows in advance that deliveries require additional time. It is beneficial for an entrepreneur to have a stock of necessary products available. For example, a revolving loan can help a car dealership purchase a large quantity of car covers or auto parts
Sales growth at a certain point. If you need to purchase additional goods due to high demand. For example, more Christmas souvenirs before the New Year due to increased sales
Execution of a specific order. For example, the showroom received an order to develop a large collection of clothing for the winter season. The company’s own funds are not enough to purchase material, pay for sewing and design work for the collection. The program perfectly meets these goals
Attraction of new clients. The newly opened butcher shop is in high demand among customers, but is also receiving requests for other products. To organize the supply and purchase of new sausages, the store borrows from the bank to expand its business
What are you allowed to spend money on?
This is a non-targeted loan; borrowed funds can be used for any business purpose. Order advertising to attract consumers, increase the store’s assortment, buy a batch of goods.
It is not recommended to spend borrowed money to pay off other debts or purchase goods that will not pay off immediately. The main purpose of a revolving loan is to help develop business today. Also, you should not use loan funds to purchase real estate or a company car. These investments do not bring quick profits and take a long time to return.
