What is working capital financing used for?
It is commonly used for payroll, inventory, vendor payments, short-term operating gaps, and urgent business expenses that cannot wait for receivables to clear.
Working Capital
Short-term capital for the moments that squeeze cash flow.
Working capital financing covers the short-term operating gaps that slow businesses down — payroll timing, vendor payments, inventory purchases, and unexpected expenses. It is designed for speed and flexibility, not long-term structure, and repays quickly so the business can access capital again when the next pressure hits.

Is working capital the right product for your business?

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is working capital the same as equipment financing?
No. Equipment financing is tied to a specific asset. Working capital is usually meant for broader operating flexibility.
When does working capital make more sense than a term loan?
It is usually a better fit when the business need is operational and immediate rather than a one-time long-horizon project.
