Operating Lines Of Credit
Contact Us
Businesses and people overall, rely on usual credits and loans to meet deadlines and close gaps when the month is over and they are missing certain amounts to cover needs or payments. However, this is usually because they don’t know the benefits of going for operating lines of credit instead of common loans.
To understand this last option, you must be aware of every term that comes with the usual credits you can get from banks, insurances, and private lenders. First, the loans you know are long-term ones. You don’t usually think about paying them in the next few months nor even years but rather between 10 to 30 years.
Of course, this depends a lot on the amount of credit you requested, but you usually deal with a much longer period of time to repay but also, higher interest rates. The main problem with regular credits is that you cannot request them quite often, it takes time to have them approved—or denied—and as a result, you don’t access the money in a few days but rather weeks or months.
Now, for businesses, in particular, you cannot always afford to spend weeks trying to get the money required when you either have emergencies or when you want it to close gaps and meet deadlines for the payment of your workers or cover other needs. For particulars or individuals, the same applies when it comes to emergencies or opportunities like in the real estate industry or other aspects and industries. Therefore, here’s when operating lines of credit are much more useful and also affordable for any business and person.
First, a line of credit is very similar to a credit card—but without too high-interest rates—, but it essentially works in the same way. It is meant for short-term borrowing needs where the borrower has the opportunity to pay for the amount requested at once or in different quotes but not in 10 years but rather a few months or a year at most.
The time for repayment can vary depending on whom you request the line of credit, but it doesn’t get longer than this most of the time. It is much more flexible compared to regular loans since you have lower interest rates, a defined amount of money you can access anytime, and repay it when you get the chance based on the terms established according to your situation.
With that said, from whom can you request it? Usual banks, insurances, and pension funds offer this option for most businesses, but if you go to a private lender or company in this field, you can apply for one either if it’s meant for a company or individual. At Commercial Real Estate Loan Pros of West Palm Beach, we can offer you different options and terms when it comes to the operating lines of credit. You will be able to access such a lower-risk revenue source for your gaps and even different projects and investments.
When to apply for a line of credit
Let’s start by when you shouldn’t go for them. For real estate investors, this credit option could or not be the best one for their purposes. If they are aiming for a one-time purchase or investment, it is better to go for the usual loan that gives more time for repayment, better terms for large amounts of money, and fit more with the goal.
However, certain real estate investors decide to get a line of credit for two reasons:
- If they are going for small properties and investments, they can use the money whenever they want and need it without going through the process of requesting a credit after another.
- They use the funds for renovation or refinance projects instead of purchases or acquisitions.
Basically, you should get it as a real estate investor if you notice the amount you require to access anytime can cover your needs and you can afford to meet the repayment conditions. And, of course, if you feel identified with any of the previous situations.
For individuals or particulars, the situation is very similar to the previous case, but most of them rely on credit cards since they meet the same function for lower amounts and with established rates. Finally, businesses and companies are the most benefited ones from operating lines of credit.
Since the amount of the credit depends on the borrower and its needs, they are able to get large amounts without many struggles, and being able to access them if needed or wanted is a plus for regular expenses or unexpected ones. Regardless of the business you have, we suggest you go for one and have it either as a backup or a way to keep your company on board with the payment of employees or other expenses every month.
Our team at Commercial Real Estate Loan Pros of West Palm Beach can arrange terms and conditions for your line of credit depending on your needs. The rates will be fixed although we will charge them as soon as you take money from the amount, you’ll have available. Since this loan works more as a service than a traditional loan, you will build a relationship with our team and have your needs addressed more efficiently.
Applying for a line of credit in a bank vs us as your lenders
Everything is completely different. From the interest rates to the amount of the credit and terms of repayment, you cannot expect a bank to offer accessible and flexible options. Common lenders and institutions are always looking for ways to drive borrowers to a corner so they pay the money sooner than later.
As a result, the conditions aren’t suitable for many businesses or investors that request it, and as a result, they are obligated to go for other credits that don’t meet their needs or situations. Instead, when you have us as your lenders, you’re able to access a service that is focused on a win-win situation. Yes, every lender wants to secure the repayment of the money and work around its needs as well, this doesn’t exclude us.
But we are not aiming for a service that is 100% focused on us but rather a 50/50: the lender and the borrower. Therefore, expect us to address your application, determine the best conditions and terms for the operating line of credit you need, and expect recommendations from our team. Everything will be easier, faster, efficient, and you’re 99% guaranteed to have access to this credit in particular.
