A Business Line of Credit As A Safety Net

Businesswoman researching options

Have you ever been without business insurance?

All your hard work can come to a halt when one unexpected event happens. That’s why you would never go a moment without ensuring you have adequate business insurance whether it’s general liability insurance, property insurance, commercial insurance, worker compensation insurance or natural disaster insurances (fire, earthquakes, etc.).

According to a recent Forbes article, “75 percent of small businesses don’t have a disaster plan in place…52 percent of owners say it would take at least months to recover”. If you can’t afford those months to recover from a potential disaster, you may agree that putting a safety net in place is crucial and important for your business survival.

Are you Prepared For Unexpected Shortage In Working Capital?

Similarly, something that many business owners don’t think of is unexpected cash shortage that can occur due to seasonality, unexpected late or missed client payments, large influx of orders which cause cash flow issues, unexpected employee theft which require time consuming litigation, etc. All these factors can cause a disruption in your working capital & cash on hand.

As a result, you may not have enough working capital to cover payroll, cost of goods for new client orders, funds for new time sensitive equipment deals, or additional marketing that may help boost your business during peak seasons. One missed deal from a large client order, or the inability to make payroll could result in missed income or expensive lawsuits which could overall have a serious impact on business.

As an astute business owner, you’re already strategically planning ahead. The more risks you remove from your day to day operations, the higher the chance your business will survive and not become another statistic. Having a disaster plan in place is a vital part of that planning.

A Business Line of Credit as a Safety Net

Opening  a line of credit so you have access to emergency funding when you need it is a huge step toward de-risking your business activities. A line of credit allows you to access extra working capital in case of an emergency.
