Working capital
Working capital loans fund the gap between accounts receivable and accounts payable. They supply cash for rent, utilities, wages, supplier invoices, and inventory restocking when revenue cycles lag. Unlike term loans earmarked for equipment or real estate, working capital addresses short-term operational needs, giving businesses flexibility to navigate seasonal swings or unexpected expenses without pausing operations.
For businesses along Chapman Avenue or near the El Modena Historic District, these loans smooth cash flow during slower months or when a large contract requires upfront material purchases. Fen Credit reviews your receivables, bank statements, and revenue patterns to identify lenders whose underwriting criteria align with your cash conversion cycle.
Working capital
As a licensed commercial loan broker, Fen Credit does not lend directly. Instead, we present your financials to a network of banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders, then compare repayment schedules, draw periods, and collateral requirements. We analyze whether a revolving line of credit, a short-term bullet loan, or invoice factoring delivers the lowest all-in cost relative to your average days sales outstanding.
Consider a landscape-supply distributor near Hewes Street facing a 60-day payment window from municipal clients. We might broker a line of credit tied to invoices, allowing draws as orders ship and automatic paydown when payments arrive. Every recommendation weighs liquidity needs against repayment capacity and the opportunity cost of tying up collateral.
