A business line of credit built for flexibility
Stop guessing how much you'll need. A revolving line of credit means you draw what you need, when you need it - and only pay for what you actually use. David can help you explore whether it's the right fit for your business.
The financial safety net every small business needs.
A business line of credit is a revolving credit facility - think of it as a pool of money you can draw from whenever you need it, repay when you're ready, and draw again. Unlike a term loan, you're not borrowing a fixed sum on day one. You get approved for a credit limit, and you draw only what you need, only when you need it.
The key advantage: many lines of credit charge fees or interest only on the amount you've drawn, not the full limit. Your unused credit sits ready, available the moment a need arises - a slow week, a surprise expense, a time-sensitive opportunity.
Lines of credit are often a good fit for businesses with variable or seasonal cash flow - restaurants navigating slow months, contractors waiting on invoice payments, retailers managing between delivery cycles, agencies bridging a gap between client payments. David can help you explore whether it's the right fit for your business.

When should you draw on your line of credit?
Your line is available for any business need. These are the situations where it makes the most impact.
Bridge a Slow Season
Don't let January kill what November built. Draw what you need to keep operations running smoothly through your slow months, then repay when the busy season returns.
Cover Payroll Between Invoices
Net-30 clients and Friday payroll don't always line up. Draw from your line to cover wages on time, then repay the moment the invoice clears. Your team never knows the difference.
Grab a Time-Sensitive Opportunity
A bulk deal from a supplier. A last-minute contract that needs a security deposit. The ability to say yes fast is a competitive edge - your line makes it possible.
Unexpected Emergency Expenses
A burst pipe. A vehicle breakdown. A key vendor failure the day before a big job. Emergencies don't wait for your budget cycle. Your line of credit doesn't either.
Short-Term Inventory Buys
Spot a supplier discount. Need to restock faster than your A/R clears. Draw for the inventory buy, sell through the product, and repay. Perfect for retail and distribution businesses.
Marketing Push or Campaign
Run a focused campaign at the right moment - not whenever you've built up enough in savings. Draw, run the campaign, generate the leads, and repay from the revenue the marketing generates.
Who qualifies for a business line of credit?
Approval is based on your business's cash flow and operating history - not just a credit score. Here's what we look for:
-
6+ months in business
We need to see a pattern of revenue to establish your credit limit. Six months of history is the minimum.
-
Consistent monthly revenue
Your revenue directly informs your credit limit. Consistent, higher monthly revenue generally means a higher available limit.
-
Active business bank account
We verify cash flow through your bank statements and deposit draws to your business checking account.
-
US-based business
We fund businesses operating in all 50 states. Your company must be registered and operating in the United States.
-
No open bankruptcies
Discharged bankruptcies are considered case-by-case. Open, active bankruptcies are not currently eligible.
-
All credit levels considered
Cash flow is the key factor. Businesses with imperfect credit qualify through our network every day - banks aren't our benchmark.

Why a line of credit beats keeping a cash reserve
Your cash earns more than it costs
A cash reserve sitting in a business account earns next to nothing. A line of credit lets you deploy that cash into your business - inventory, marketing, people - while the credit line backstops any unexpected gaps.
Pay only when you need it
Unlike a term loan, you're not paying for money you haven't used. Your credit line is available at zero cost until you draw. No monthly maintenance on unused balances. Just options, on standby.
Approved on your business, not a score
Team Red Funding's network of funding partners looks at your actual cash flow to help set your limit. This can mean access to credit even when the bank says you don't qualify.

Business Line of Credit FAQs
What's the difference between a line of credit and a business loan?
A business loan gives you a fixed lump sum upfront that you repay on a fixed schedule - regardless of whether you've used all the money. A business line of credit is revolving: you draw what you need when you need it, often pay fees only on what you've drawn, and your available credit typically replenishes as you repay. Use a loan for a specific, known amount; use a line of credit for flexible, ongoing cash needs.
How do I draw from my line of credit?
After your line of credit is established, drawing funds is straightforward - David walks you through the specific process for your arrangement. Timing for funds to reach your business bank account varies by funding partner.
Do I pay interest on the full credit limit?
Typically, no. Many lines of credit charge fees or interest only on the amount you've actually drawn - not the full credit limit. The undrawn portion is usually available at no cost until you need it. David will confirm how this works for any specific offer.
How quickly can I access funds after approval?
Timing depends on the funding partner and your business's profile. David will give you a realistic timeline for setup and for subsequent draws once he reviews your application.
Can I increase my credit limit over time?
In many cases, yes. As your business grows and you build a positive repayment history, you may be eligible to request a credit limit increase. David can walk you through the review process when you're ready to explore a higher limit.
