Line of Credit

A line of credit is a flexible financial instrument that provides your business with the ability to draw funds up to a predefined credit limit. Unlike traditional loans, where the borrower receives a lump sum upfront, a line of credit allows for the withdrawal of specific amounts as and when required. Interest is generally charged only on the amount drawn, providing a cost-effective way to manage fluctuating cash needs.

Types of Lines of Credit:
  • Unsecured Line of Credit: Requires no collateral but generally comes with a higher interest rate.
  • Secured Line of Credit: Requires collateral (such as real estate or inventory) and usually offers a lower interest rate.
