What is line of credit?
Line of Credit: A revolving credit facility you draw against as needed and repay as you collect.
How it works
Bank lines are the cheapest form of revolving credit but require two to three years of profitable financials, strong DSCR, and typically a personal guarantee. Factoring often fills the same job for growing shops that don't yet qualify for a bank line.
Where you will run into it
Line of Credit comes up most often in working capital conversations. See how working capital works, including real cost ranges and timelines.
