Working Capital Loan

← View All Glossary Terms
Definition

Working capital loans are short-term financing to cover daily operations — payroll, rent, inventory, supplier payments, and utilities. Unlike long-term loans for assets, these maintain smooth cash flow.

Available forms include: Cash Credit (CC), Overdraft (OD), Bank Guarantee, Line of Credit, Packing Credit for exporters, and Buyers Credit for importers. Each serves different cash flow patterns.

They are essential for businesses with seasonal fluctuations, delayed receivables, or temporary revenue gaps. While providing quick relief, they carry higher rates than long-term loans.
