Before applying for this type of loan, find out the benefits, and drawbacks, of this loan so you can up your chances of being eligible to receive funding.

When you need a loan, you may hear the term “working capital.” While it sounds formal, it’s really just a term that means the cash that a lender can loan to a borrower. This working capital can be used for important company needs for continued business operations such as employee payroll, monthly utilities, paying invoices and rent. There is always the chance of a company getting tight on funds and in that instance, working capital commercial real estate financing can be very helpful. A loan like this can make sure you keep your business running through tight times, even if you are low on cash flow and don’t have the ability to liquefy any assets.

Working capital loans have multiple benefits. They usually don’t require a lengthy or complication application process or approval time. The application process is not as strict as conventional loan processes sometimes can be, so this speeds up the process as well. Also, once a business is approved for the finances, funding can be received very quickly. Usually, once approved, funds are available to the borrower within seven working days. Another benefit is that the company is not required to use the funds for a specified purpose, unlike conventional bank loans that sometime have restrictions on how borrowers can use the working capital funds. Finally, companies that have less than perfect credit scores or history are still eligible for this type of financing.

Along with the benefits of working capital commercial real estate financing, there are some downsides. Though credit report review and application approval may be a bit ore lenient than a conventional application process, you may be responsible for more collateral to secure the funding. These loans also have shorter terms, which usually equates to higher interest rates than traditional long-term loans that have longer repayment schedules.

If your business represents a niche market, you may find that working capital commercial real estate financing is the right loan for your company.

Even if your business is a bit “out of the box” for traditional lenders to approve your loan, with certain loans that don’t require the loan money to be used in a specific way, this is ideal for new companies and small businesses in need of cash. This financing can be very helpful for companies that need to purchase inventory, supplies, equipment or other business needs. But beyond that, even if the company does need to use the funding for other purposes, it’s not an issue.
