What is a business line of credit?

A business line of credit is a flexible financing option that gives your business access to a defined amount of working capital. Once approved, you can draw as much or as little as you need, up to your available credit limit, through a streamlined process.

Unlike a loan where you receive the full amount upfront, a line of credit lets you access capital as needs arise. Your business is responsible for repaying only the funds used, plus any interest, fixed fees, or other charges that may apply.

A line of credit can be especially useful for repeat cash-flow needs, unexpected expenses, payroll timing, inventory purchases, or new business opportunities. BFS can help businesses explore line of credit options from roughly $5,000 up to $250,000, subject to approval and lender terms.

Flexible capital when you need it most

A business line of credit is built for repeat access, short-term needs, and owners who want more control over when they use funds.

Flexible payments

Payments may be made on an automatic daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, based on the amount drawn and the option selected.

Renewing access

As you repay what you draw, available credit may become accessible again, helping your business handle ongoing working capital needs.

Draw only what you need

You do not have to use the full approved amount at once — draw capital as needs come up and repay only what you use plus applicable costs.

Is it right for you?

When a business line of credit makes sense

A line of credit can be a strong fit for businesses with recurring cash-flow needs or unpredictable expenses. It gives you access to working capital without requiring you to take the full approved amount upfront.

This type of financing is often used to manage payroll, buy inventory, cover seasonal dips, handle repairs, bridge receivables, or act quickly on growth opportunities. If your business values flexibility and repeat access, a line of credit may be worth exploring.

A strong fit for businesses that need:

  • Repeat access to working capital
  • Funds for short-term or unexpected expenses
  • The ability to draw only what is needed
  • Flexible daily, weekly, or monthly payment options
  • Capital for payroll, inventory, repairs, receivables, or opportunities

Questions & answers

Line of credit FAQs

Is it better to get a loan or line of credit?+
The right product depends on your capital needs, repayment preferences, funding amount, and business goals. A loan is often better for a single larger expense with a set repayment plan. A line of credit is often better for repeat cash-flow needs because you can draw funds as needed up to your approved limit and repay only what you use plus applicable costs.
Is a line of credit better than a credit card?+
A business line of credit may offer access to larger amounts of working capital and terms designed for business cash-flow needs. A credit card can be useful for smaller purchases, but the better option depends on cost, limit, repayment structure, and how your business plans to use the funds.
How do I get a business line of credit?+
Start by completing an application and providing basic business information, recent bank statements, identification, and bank account details. Your revenue, deposits, time in business, credit profile, and overall performance may all be reviewed.
How does a line of credit work?+
Your business is approved for a credit limit. You can draw funds up to that limit as needed, then make regular payments on the amount used plus applicable interest, fixed fees, or other charges. Terms may reset or adjust when additional capital is drawn.
Can you withdraw cash from a small business line of credit?+
Available access methods vary by lender and product. Some options may allow ACH transfers into your business bank account or other approved access methods, subject to account terms and availability.
Is there a line of credit calculator available?+
We can help estimate potential options and payment structures, but any estimate is for illustration only and subject to underwriting, approval, and final lender terms.
