What are short-term business loans?

Short-term business loans are an important part of the financing mix and are used as a cash injection to help with working capital, cover inventory expenses, or pay for an unexpected bill. In other scenarios, short-term loans can assist in business growth, such as covering supplies for a new customer order.

 

How does a short-term business loan work?

Short-term business loans are generally approved for a duration up to 2 years. Often unsecured, the finance is ideal as a top up on existing finance structures and suitable for short-term investments. Popular borrowing reasons for short term finance are managing cash-flow, bridging receivables and buying inventory. Many modern lenders offer short-term finance with swift, easy online processes.

Are short-term business loans a good idea?

Short-term business loans are designed to help your business flourish. They would not exist if they did not have a measurable positive effect on some businesses. However, if your business is struggling to pay outstanding debt or is looking financially unstable, then taking on additional finance would not be advisable. On the other hand, if your company is well established, profitable and will use the finance to grow and improve, potentially a short-term loan could be a good idea.
