Revenue-Based Funding

One of the most common forms of business financing is Revenue-Based Funding, a program in which money is provided to a company in exchange for a percentage of future revenues. This is a great option for businesses who are already generating income, but don’t have the hard assets generally required for a traditional bank loan. Funding amounts can range from $10,000 to $2,000,000 based on your company’s monthly gross business revenue.

Business Line of Credit

A line of credit that can be drawn against as often as once a day for anything your business needs to grow, pay for only what you take. One of the most common uses for a business line of credit is to help maintain cash flow, at some point all businesses will experience some degree of cash flow problems. There are unexpected circumstances that arise that can put even the strongest of small businesses into a cash flow crunch such as customers who are slow to pay their bills, a sudden drop in sales, a recent influx of new employees ( which means additional payroll) or unexpected expenses. Whatever the reason, it’s normal for businesses to occasionally have urgent short – term needs for additional cash.

A maximum credit limit is established and companies can borrow as little or as much as needed up to that limit. Payments on the line of credit would generally be made on a monthly basis. This is a good funding option for small businesses who require financial flexibility to meet short-term needs.

Asset-Based Lending

Asset-based lending is a program designed for businesses that can leverage their tangible assets and strong balance sheet as a means of accessing working capital.

These clients pledge fixed assets such as inventory, machinery and real estate in addition to receivables in return for access to capital.

Asset based programs often act as revolving credit facilities and are offered up to $5,000,000.

Term Loan

Obtaining financing through term loans is one of the most traditional funding options for established small businesses. These loans generally carry fixed interest rates and monthly repayment schedules which are based on the company’s revenue.

Most often, they’re used to finance inventory purchases, capital improvements, new construction and acquisition of large equipment and machinery. They can also be used to consolidate existing short debt to ease constraints on cash flow.

For many businesses, rates can start at 5.49% on loan amounts ranging from $25,000 to $500,000 with a fixed monthly payment over a 1 to 5 year period.

Receivables Factoring

Receivables factoring is a good way for companies to receive money without assuming any debt.  The funds are unrestricted, providing a company more flexibility than with a traditional bank loan.

The way it works is you are paid for invoices for service and products that have already been completed and delivered.  BrookeVale Funding advances money to the business as a form of a loan that uses a security interest in the company’s accounts receivables as collateral. Loan amounts are determined as a percentage of the invoices full amount. The advance rate is usually 80% to 95% of the total face value of the invoices.
