circle-sterling-sharp-light-full

Agree a Credit Limit

A lender approves a maximum borrowing limit based on your business performance and affordability. This becomes your available credit pot, ready to use whenever your business needs it.

Draw Funds as Needed

You can withdraw any amount up to your agreed limit, either in full or in part. Funds can often be accessed quickly, helping you respond to short-term opportunities or unexpected costs.

Repay & Reuse

As you repay what you’ve borrowed, the funds become available again. You only pay interest on the amount drawn, not the full limit, giving you flexibility and control over costs.

Is a Revolving Credit Facility Right for You?

A revolving credit facility can be a powerful tool for businesses that experience fluctuating cash flow or need quick access to working capital. It’s designed for short-term borrowing rather than long-term investment and offers ongoing flexibility instead of a fixed lump sum loan.

What is the difference between a revolving credit facility and an overdraft?

Both offer flexible access to funds, but a revolving credit facility is typically a standalone agreement with structured terms, whereas an overdraft is linked to your business bank account.

How much can I borrow with a revolving credit facility?

Credit limits vary depending on your business turnover, financial position and lender criteria. Limits can range from a few thousand pounds to significantly more.

How quickly can I access funds?

Once approved, many lenders allow you to draw funds quickly, sometimes within 24 hours of applying for the facility, depending on the provider and documentation.

Do I pay interest on the full credit limit?

No. You only pay interest on the amount you draw down, not the entire approved limit. This makes it a cost-effective option for flexible borrowing.

Is a revolving credit facility secured or unsecured?

It can be either. Some lenders offer unsecured options, while others may require a personal guarantee or business assets as security, depending on risk and borrowing size.

What are typical terms for a revolving credit facility?

Revolving credit facilities are usually short-term, commonly lasting between six months and two years. In some cases, the agreement can be renewed or extended if approved by the lender.

Can my credit limit increase over time?

Potentially. If you regularly use and repay the facility responsibly, a lender may consider increasing your credit limit to provide additional flexibility.

What happens if I don’t use the facility?

You typically only pay interest on funds you draw down. If the facility isn’t used, no interest is charged, although some lenders may apply a small set-up or commitment fee.
