When you have a business line of credit, you can borrow a certain amount of capital annually, just as with personal credit. You make payments only on the credit you've actually used. This can help you manage cash flow shortages or cover surprise costs until you have the funds. You won’t have a regular monthly payment schedule as you would with a long term or short term loan but there usually are minimum monthly payments required.
A business credit line can be secured or unsecured and it can be easier to get compared to other types of business loans. It should not, however, be used for long-term investments or major purchases. Businesses should be able to repay promptly as the interest and late fees can compound quickly with a line of credit.
