Cashflow finance
Commercial finance can also be referred to as ‘cashflow finance.’ This is because it can be used by business owners in order to strengthen their company cash flow.
There are three different types of commercial finance solution. And these include facilities such as commercial loans, invoice finance, and revolving credit as well.
Invoice finance allows you to access a percentage of an invoice’s value ahead of the customer’s payment. This is useful if your customers are paying beyond your terms.
Finally, revolving credit is like a consumer overdraft. It’s essentially a revolving loan with a credit limit. And it can therefore smooth out the peaks and troughs of trade.
What is a Commercial Loan?
Commercial loans are perhaps the most widely used (and also widely sought after) type of business finance. This is because of the simplicity, as well as the flexibility, of a loan.
They can be used for a variety of different things. You could put the money to short term investments, like extra stock. Or use it to help with cash flow, like if your waiting on an invoice.
Silver Forest brokers three types of cashflow finance and can be secured or unsecured. Each of these differ from one another in their length and their security.
