Funding Your Small Business in 2022
by Pathlie Lee Business consultantGrowing a business requires funding. If you have plans and ideas, but no financial backing, the next step is to find financing solutions that fit the bill. Here are some ways you can get the funds you need. Consider which of these options can help you improve your cash flow situation.
Invoice Factoring
Submit any unpaid invoices you have to a small business factoring company. If you get approved, you’ll receive 80 percent of the invoice upfront. That’s not a lie. Some of the best factoring companies can send the cash in as short as 24 hours. If you’re in a cash flow crunch, this is an option you’ll want to try. Unlike loans that take longer, assigning your invoices allows you to get funding that’s debt free. The faster turnaround times and often unlimited access to funds are more than enough reasons to put invoice funding at the top of this list. In addition, with invoice factoring, you won’t have to worry about the risks that come from getting a loan, or that you get yourself in deeper financial trouble.
Short-Term Loans
A loan is the traditional way of getting funds. If you have an excellent credit history, and your company has been around for years, you can qualify for a short-term loan. However, loans require collateral, and they often have terms or conditions that could put you at a disadvantage. Be sure to go over those terms. If you are willing to comply with those conditions, this is another option you can explore for funding access.
Lending Companies
There are also lending companies that you can try. With non-bank lending solutions on the market, it’s not impossible to find alternative lenders that are more flexible than traditional loans. If you are looking for options, consider non-banking financing solutions. They can be worth a good, long look.
Equipment Financing
New technology can bring growth to your business and help your operations expand. With equipment financing offers, you can get access to technology that can revolutionize the way you have always done your business. Many companies made that move at the peak of the coronavirus. They realized they needed to embrace technology if they wanted their businesses to survive the pandemic. Whether you’re buying brand-new point-of-sale terminals, launch an ecommerce site for your business, and set up contactless payment processes, you need funding. Equipment financing can fill in those funding gaps for you.
Do It Together
Some businesses have banded together. Coming together and forming partnerships with other companies provided them with the means to get through the pandemic. For instance, not all business owners are finance-savvy. They are not all accountants or bookkeepers. But many try to deal with those matters on their own. By forming partnerships with companies that can take on those tasks, they won’t have to worry about making mistakes. They also found a way to save on costs. With the right partner, they can now more competently navigate the minefields and challenges of running a business.Sponsor Ads
