Banks and credit unions set the rules and businesses were typically given <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/za\/business-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fixed term loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with regular payment schedules and no leeway if the business landscape changed. However, that was then. Now, with online lenders driving the rapid expansion of alternative business funding, flexible financing has become commonplace and businesses that make the most of it can gain a valuable competitive advantage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, flexible financing can put organisations in better control of their money, giving them options if circumstances change and more avenues to grow without relying on hard-won working capital or rigid term loans. Use flexible funding to bridge gaps in cashflow, buy equipment and inventory, cover seasonal trade swings and reduce the interest changes and fees you pay all at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb5b3aa uael-heading-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-uael-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"fb5b3aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"table-of-content-column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;heading_text_align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;heading_bottom_space&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;heading_bottom_space_laptop&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;heading_bottom_space_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;heading_bottom_space_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;separator_bottom_space&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;separator_bottom_space_laptop&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;separator_bottom_space_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;separator_bottom_space_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;content_between_space&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:15,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;content_between_space_laptop&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;content_between_space_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;content_between_space_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"uael-table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-main-wrapper\" data-headings=\"h2,h3,h4\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-toc-heading elementor-inline-editing\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"heading_title\" data-elementor-inline-editing-toolbar=\"basic\" ><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-toggle-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul data-toc-headings=\"headings\" class=\"uael-toc-list uael-toc-list-none\" data-scroll=\"\" ><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-empty-note\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Add a header to begin generating the table of contents<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7c849d question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c7c849d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why are flexible financing options beneficial?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7c0d1f answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7c0d1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike traditional bank loans, flexible finance is dynamic and it can evolve to match your business situation. You gain access to the finance you need when you need it and in many cases on your own terms. You can also decide how much funding you need, what you use as security, what the costs are and how you pay the funding back. Here\u2019s an overview of the key benefits:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><b>You set the loan schedule:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Instead of being stuck with a rigid monthly or quarterly repayment plan, flexible financing can give you the option to change repayment dates, extend or shorten the schedule, even take a payment holiday. You set the loan schedule to work around the cycle of your business, not the other way round.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>You decide how much and when to take financing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Whether it\u2019s a revolving credit line or you\u2019re borrowing against your past or future sales, you decide how much cash you want to borrow and when you want it. This can give you better control of financing costs and keep your debt-to-income ratio low.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>You keep your financing options open:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Whereas traditional lenders may put a brake on your business borrowing, limiting how much and what type of other financing you can take, flexible financing can often be used alongside other funding options. This can give you the opportunity to employ a more productive and versatile mix of borrowing.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>You can change the plan:<\/b> Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, flexible financing is tailored to suit your unique business circumstances, allowing you to change and adapt your financing mix as your business grows. Customisation make sure your organisation receives the funding that matches your plans, investment requirements, and risk tolerance at the right time, enabling you to make strategic financial decisions with confidence.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a22a89 question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a22a89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What different flexible financing options are there?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d34846b answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d34846b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexible financing comes in many flavours. Key options include:<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Equipment financing<\/b><\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/za\/business-loans\/asset-finance\/equipment-financing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equipment loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are \u2018self-collateralising\u2019 \u2013 they use the asset you\u2019re financing as security, similar to a car loan or a residential mortgage. Use the equipment as you pay for it while the lender maintains a lien on the machinery. Once you pay the loan back, you own the equipment outright. Because equipment loans require no added collateral, they do not reduce your ability to seek other secured financing. They also take the weight off cashflow, giving you better control of your working capital.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Accounts receivable financing<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/za\/business-loans\/invoice-finance\/\">invoice financing<\/a>, this type of loan allows you to borrow against the value of your unpaid invoices. The lender will usually provide up to 95% of the invoice value within a few days or even hours of the bill being raised. You decide which invoices you sell or pledge. This gives you greater command over your borrowing and can limit the interest and fees you pay. Your invoices act as collateral, no added security is required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Line of credit<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of business loan functions like a high-value credit card but comes with lower interest rates and fees. You can withdraw as much as they want when you want from a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loan facility<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> up to the limit of your borrowing. Only borrow what you need, only pay interest on what you borrow. You can repay the lending at any time or schedule repayments to match the fluctuations in your cashflow. Collateral may be required.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Business cash advance<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of business cash advance:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first, known as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/za\/business-loans\/merchant-cash-advance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">merchant cash advance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is suitable for businesses that take credit and debit card payments from customers. You borrow against the value of your card sales. As your card sales increase, your borrowing limit goes up allowing you to match borrowing to growth. You pay the loan back with a fixed percentage of your card sales on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Your sales act as security for the loan, no added collateral is required.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second, known as revenue-based financing, functions the same as a merchant cash advance but comes with higher borrowing limits. Based on the size and regularity of your total revenues, (not just your credit card sales), you may receive a lump sum and pay it back over a short-term schedule, typically by small deductions from your daily sales. As before, your sales act as security for the loan and no added collateral is required.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of these loan types can usually be secured quickly as qualification rules are less intensive and credit scores are not so critical. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69e389e question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"69e389e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which flexible funding option is right for me?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-697875a answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"697875a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key benefit of flexible financing is that it can encompass a mix of funding options to help you make the most of your money and grasp every good business opportunity.
