Strategies For Borrowing Operating Capital

Expanding a small business means having more operating capital to increase needed office and production equipment, sales inventory, advertising and employees. When viewing the different business financing programs for accessing operating capital, you find two avenues – one the traditional funding from bank loans or SBA-backed financing and the other is alternative financing such as business cash advances. Each has its role to play in your business’s growth cycles.

Planning for applying for a small business bank loan is a first, since traditional loans usually carry the lowest interest rates. US Business Finance Corp uses the following benchmarks in assisting small business owners prepare for approaching the banking industry for operating capital.

1. Sell the ownership. For small businesses, the ownership is a major ingredient to its success. The ownership has the vision and business experience that drives the business forward. In selling the ownership always present your ideas and your strengths that will make it happen. Then, keeping in mind bankers know that we are all human, also note your weaknesses and how your business plan addresses making up for them.
2. Build your relationship from the outset. Choose your business’s bank after researching which banks work best with your type of company. Get to know the commercial loan officers and invite them to see your operation, even before you broach the subject of a loan.
3. Create the management team. Banks bet on business experience, they don’t want their financing to go towards a learning curve (i.e. money lost due to uneducated decisions). Emphasize the management team’s experience in your presentations.
4. Create a business plan that is your top marketing work. US Business Finance Corp helps businesses create their business plans and refine their presentations to increase their ability to obtain a loan with a minimum of applications. Along with listing ownership and management expertise, the financial statements, target market analysis and plans to grow sales are important.
5. Collateral shows intent the loudest. Banks are willing to lend when they see the financial commitment the ownership has to the business. Banks are willing to make a deal as a financial team member helping the business, however they do not go for being asked to shoulder the risk of the business. Owners benefit from dealing with risk, banks benefit from interest.

When risk is involved in the lending picture, owners normally turn to investment funding where the investors take partial ownership and assume some risk for their capital infusion. Another avenue is a cash advance for capital funding.
