Voxen insight

Working capital problems are almost never about revenue — they are about timing. A business doing $100K/month can still run out of cash if clients pay in 60 days but expenses are due in 15. The fix is not more sales; it is capital that bridges the gap between when you earn and when you collect.

What is Working Capital?

Working capital is the difference between your current assets and current liabilities. It is the cash available to fund daily operations — payroll, rent, inventory, supplies. When working capital runs low, businesses struggle to meet obligations even while remaining profitable on paper.

Signs You Need a Working Capital Loan

Difficulty making payroll, turning down orders because you cannot fund inventory, relying on personal credit cards for business expenses, and missing supplier early-payment discounts are all signals that your business needs working capital financing.

Types of Working Capital Financing

Lines of credit for ongoing needs, short-term loans for specific gaps, invoice financing to accelerate receivables, and merchant cash advances (though we recommend alternatives). Each has different cost structures and repayment terms.

Frequently asked questions

How is a working capital loan different from a term loan?

Working capital loans are shorter-term (3-18 months) and designed for operational expenses. Term loans are longer (1-10 years) and typically used for growth investments like equipment or expansion.

How much working capital does my business need?

A general rule: maintain at least 2-3 months of operating expenses in available working capital. This includes payroll, rent, utilities, inventory costs, and other recurring expenses.

Can I get working capital with no collateral?

Yes. Unsecured working capital facilities up to $1M are available based on revenue and business performance. No real estate or equipment collateral required.
