Line of Credit/ Overdraft
With the help of a line of credit, businesses can be assured sufficient cash flow in order to withstand short-term liquidity crunch. Businesses typically take up a line of credit in anticipation of future requirements of the company such as purchasing materials or ingredients in order to run the business at full capacity.
A line of credit is a flexible form of borrowing where a lender agrees to provide a borrower with a certain amount of credit that can be drawn down at any time.
A line of credit works like a credit card in that the borrower can draw down the funds as needed up to a pre-approved limit. Interest is only charged on the amount of credit that has been used.
A line of credit provides flexibility for the borrower, allowing them to access funds as needed without having to apply for a new loan each time. It can also be a cost-effective way to borrow, as interest is only charged on the amount of credit that has been used.
There are several types of lines of credit, including personal lines of credit, business lines of credit, and home equity lines of credit.
The interest rate on a line of credit can vary depending on the type of credit, the borrower’s creditworthiness, and the current market conditions.
The repayment period for a line of credit is typically open-ended, meaning that the borrower can draw down and repay funds as needed as long as they remain within the pre-approved limit.
The credit limit on a line of credit is determined by the lender and is based on the borrower’s creditworthiness and other factors.
A line of credit can be cancelled by either the borrower or the lender, but cancellation may result in fees or penalties.
Collateral may be required for certain types of lines of credit, such as home equity lines of credit. However, unsecured lines of credit are also available for borrowers with strong credit scores. Contact us for customized solutions specifically tailored to your needs today.
