The 411: cash advances vs business loans
If you’re a bit confused as to the difference between the two, no sweat. While they both involve money being loaned to you, a cash advance and a business loan differ in the way that they’re paid back.
Here’s what’s what:
A sum of money that you pay back via a percentage of your sales.
A sum of money paid back via set terms and conditions.
A cash advance is like a Red Bull for your business (but healthier)
Business is booming. Yay! But in order to grow your business you need cash, which is in short supply. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. In fact, a shortage of cash is the biggest hurdle entrepreneurs face when expanding their operations.
Enter: a cash advance. An injection of funds that you can use to rent more space, hire additional staff, upgrade your restaurant kitchen, or whatever it is that your business needs to grow.
The world is in crisis. Your business doesn’t have to be
From lockdowns to loadshedding, businesses big and small have suffered major setbacks since the C-word became part of the zeitgeist.
This means that while extra cash is more important than ever, it’s also more difficult to come by.
Even if you’re a meticulous planner (hats off to you!), a burst geyser followed by a fridge full of rotting food due to Eishkom refusing to come to the party, coupled with an increase in courier fees due to petrol hikes can mean that your cash reserves are quickly depleted.
In other words, sometimes the poo hits the fan.
Traditional business loans require patience and a love for paperwork
Two things you have in short supply when you’ve got customers demanding to know why their coffee is cold and a staff member who’s called in sick.
Borrowing money from a bank is a lengthy, convoluted process that often entails a substantial wait for funds to land in your account.
