Why You May Benefit from a Working Capital Loan

With summer coming to a close, small businesses may be finding themselves in a slower period of sales. Consumers are settling in to their regular routines, kids are heading back to school, and everyone is taking a deep breath before the chaos of the holiday season is upon us. For small businesses, this generally means lagging sales. How you keep your business afloat as you work behind the scenes to prepare for the holiday rush can be tricky. But one such method of keeping the doors open during a downturn is to consider a working capital loan, like the one we offer at ARF Financial. Let us explain…

What’s a Working Capital Loan, and Why Might I Need One?

Put simply, a working capital loan is taken out by small businesses to finance its operating costs. They are not used to finance investments or purchase assets, rather to cover the costs of payroll, rent, utilities, etc. Essentially the items a small business would need to keep its doors open.

Business who most frequently rely on working capital loans are those with a more seasonal business model. If your company does most of its business in the summer months, you may need a working capital loan to help bridge the gap between slow and busy seasons. Other businesses may be considered cyclical. According to Investopedia, this business type “is sensitive to the business cycle, such that revenues generally are higher in periods of economic prosperity and expansion and are lower in periods of economic downturn and contraction.” Cyclical businesses may need to rely on layoffs or cuts to weather the ups and downs, but could also turn to a working capital loan in order to avoid these measures.
