When cash flow issues arise, Peoples Bank can help you keep the lights on.

Obtain pre-approved financing for seasonal cash flows or take advantage of flexible borrowing for short-term funds. You’ll only pay interest on the funds you use.

What is a Business Line of Credit?

When you open a business line of credit, you can draw funds and repay them whenever you need to, as long as you don’t exceed your credit limit and make minimum payments on time. Unlike a term loan, there is no lump-sum payment with a commercial credit line. If you don’t withdraw funds right away, no payments are due. Interest is calculated only on what you borrow. 

 

How does a Business Line of Credit Work?

Your business credit line works like another bank account. You can write checks from your credit line and transfer funds to and from your business checking account. Approval and credit limit will depend on your company’s financial history; you may also need to share your personal financial information as well. Business lines of credit can be secured to an asset, such as commercial real estate, or unsecured. Use your commercial line of credit for a variety of regular, one-time, and seasonal expenses such as:

  • Cash flow
  • Inventory
  • New hire
  • Equipment
  • Accounts payable
  • Payroll
  • Unplanned expenses


What are the Benefits of a Business Line of Credit?

One of the benefits of a Business Line of Credit is that you can open it before you need it to serve as a financial safety net. It also allows you to get through your off-season without draining all of your cash reserves. Other benefits include:
  • Competitive rates and flexible terms.
  • Borrow only as much as you need.
  • Interest accrues only on what you withdraw.
