Frequently Asked Questions

What is a contract line of credit?2022-12-01T20:31:06-05:00

Materials and labor associated with assignable contracts. If your company has secured an assignable contract but doesn’t have the resources available to meet the contract, and if the contract meets the SBA guidelines of retaining or creating jobs, the Contract Line of Credit may be the answer.

The following product has a limit up to $5 million

What is a builders line of credit?2022-12-01T20:31:06-05:00

Materials, equipment, labor, permits and even land purchases (land purchase expenses may not exceed 20% of the total LOC limit). Similar to the Contract Line of Credit, the Builders Line has a great deal of flexibility. This LOC may be used for a wide range of costs associated with building or renovating a residential or commercial property, where the intent is to sell that property to an as yet unknown party upon completion. Be aware, however, that this LOC is the most heavily regulated of the CAPLines programs and funds disbursements may be dependent upon project milestones.

The following product has a limit up to $5 million

What is a seasonal line of credit?2022-12-01T20:31:06-05:00

Seasonal increases in accounts receivable, inventory needs, or related increased labor costs. Businesses which operate seasonally, or which have significant changes in activity between season, may encounter cash flow problems coming in to a busy season. This product allows those businesses to expand as rapidly as possible by avoiding cash shortages. Your business must have been in operation for at least one year.

The following product has a limit up to $5 million

What is a small asset-based line of credit?2022-12-01T20:31:06-05:00

Allows small businesses to convert short-term assets (such as invoices) into cash. Has looser servicing requirements than the Standard Asset-Based Line but the same benefits and limitations.

The following product has a limit up to $200,000

What is a standard asset-based line of credit?2022-12-01T20:31:06-05:00

Converts short-term assets (such as invoices) in to cash. Very similar to Invoice Financing, the Standard Asset-Based LOC may be a better solution for larger companies, as the cost of borrowing may be substantially lower than costs for Invoice Financing. Note this LOC may not be used for delinquent taxes, floorplanning or the purchase of fixed assets.

The following product has a limit up to $5 million

What is the SBA CAPLines program?2022-12-01T20:31:06-05:00

The CAPLines working line of credit program is a range of financial products designed to assist small businesses with their short-term and cyclical capital needs. In most cases, these products are only available to companies which already have a traditional SBA 7(a) or CDC/SBA 504 loan. In rare cases, qualified borrowers or well-connected businesses with the potential to bring other borrowers to a bank, may find a lender willing to provide a stand-alone CAPLines LOC.

Examples:

  • Converting invoices to cash
  • Covering seasonal costs
  • Covering costs of materials and labor for a building project
What are the pros and cons of the SBA CAPlines program?2022-12-01T20:31:56-05:00

Drawbacks

  • Lengthy application process
