For small business owners, it seems there aren’t enough hours in the day. However, there is one area in particular that is often overlooked, but requires your undivided attention – Information Security. Here are several ways in which you can protect your employees, customer, and company data.
A line of credit is a useful tool for small businesses to level cash flow during times when cash is needed to support growth. Lines support short-term assets and are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Small businesses have different cash needs; a contractor uses a line to fund materials needed for specific jobs, a retail shop uses a line to fund inventory purchases, a seasonal business uses a line to operate the business during times when revenue is slack. A properly used line will provide a temporary source of cash until short-term assets are converted into cash. This converted cash, in turn, pays down the line for future use. Lines should not be used to purchase long-term or fixed assets. Not all businesses need lines of credit. For more information about whether a line of credit is right for you please contact our Business Banking team.
The SBA 504 loan program works with local banks to provide up to 90% long-term financing for small businesses. 504 loans can be used to finance capital projects such as construction or purchase of a new building, renovation or expansion of an existing building, or purchase of equipment with a useful life of at least 10 years. The SBA 504 loan program allows a growing business to conserve cash for working capital needs. For example, you decide to add a new addition to your building because more space is needed. The addition will cost $400,000 to complete. Using an SBA 504 loan, the bank will provide up to 50% long-term financing, a Certified Development Company (CDC) will provide up to 40% long-term, fixed-rate financing, and the borrower must provide at least 10% cash equity. Fees and closing costs can be financed into the CDC loan. For more information about the SBA 504 loan program please contact our Business Banking team.
