Inventory & raw materials
Eligible finance may support stock or inputs required for trading and production. Businesses should balance availability with turnover so excess or obsolete inventory does not lock up avoidable cash.

Keep Your Business Moving. Maintain the Cash Flow Your Operations Need.
Service overview
A considered path from requirement to decision.
Day-to-day business does not stop while you wait for customer payments. A Working Capital Loan or facility can help eligible businesses manage short-term operating requirements, subject to the lender’s assessment, structure, and terms.
Working capital requirements
Understand the operating cycle before choosing the facility
Working capital supports day-to-day operations such as inventory, suppliers, salaries, rent, utilities, and receivables. A profitable business can still face pressure when expenses fall due before customer collections arrive, so the requirement should be connected to a realistic operating cycle and repayment source.
Suppliers & operating expenses
A facility may help bridge supplier payments, payroll, rent, utilities, and other permitted routine expenses when cash inflows and obligations do not occur at the same time.
Receivable-cycle gaps
Customer credit can support sales but slow collections can strain liquidity. Planning should consider invoice age, quality, concentration, collection discipline, and lender eligibility rules.
Seasonal requirements
Businesses may need additional inventory or operating support before predictable demand peaks. The amount and expected reduction in the temporary requirement should be planned in advance.
Larger orders & growth
Growing sales can increase stock, supplier payments, employees, and receivables before the related cash is collected. Projections should remain realistic even if sales or collections are delayed.
Other permitted needs
Short-term operating expenses during expansion and other legitimate day-to-day requirements may be considered according to the lender’s product and final sanction conditions.

Facility structures
Choose a structure that follows the cash-flow cycle
There is no single working-capital product for every business. Flexibility, security, cost, records, and ongoing conditions all matter.
Cash Credit
A lender sanctions a limit that may be used according to facility terms and available drawing power, which can be linked to eligible stock and receivables after applicable margins.
Overdraft
An eligible business may draw beyond the available balance in a designated account up to a sanctioned limit, subject to the applicable security, interest, charges, and renewal terms.
Demand loan & other structures
A lender may use a defined loan, bill- or invoice-related finance, receivable finance, purchase-linked funding, or another permitted structure suited to a specific business cycle.
Secured or unsecured
Working-capital finance may involve current assets, property, deposits, other acceptable security, or no traditional property collateral, depending on the lender, amount, profile, and product.
Business assessment
How lenders may assess the requirement
The purpose is to understand the reasonable short-term funding gap and the business’s capacity to manage the facility responsibly.
Operating cycle
Inventory days, receivable days, supplier terms, seasonal patterns, and the duration of the genuine cash-flow gap help shape the requirement.
Financial performance
Turnover, margins, profitability, current assets, liabilities, debt, and cash-flow trends can help demonstrate whether the business can manage the facility.
Banking conduct
Regular credits, payment patterns, cheque returns, existing-limit utilisation, and transparent account activity may form part of the lender’s practical review.
Credit & existing debt
The business and relevant promoters, partners, or directors may be reviewed together with existing loans, facilities, and total repayment obligations.
Current assets & drawing power
For some facilities, actual availability changes with eligible inventory and receivables after exclusions and lender-defined margins—not simply the headline sanctioned limit.
Entity & industry profile
Business vintage, constitution, industry, operating model, registrations, records, projections, and lender-specific policy can all influence assessment.
Working Capital journey
A clear ten-step process
Organised records and careful review can make the journey clearer, while the lender determines every final facility decision.
- 01
Understand the gap
Identify why working capital is required, the genuine amount, and the expected duration.
- 02
Review the operating cycle
Examine inventory, receivables, supplier terms, collections, and seasonal patterns.
- 03
Review the business profile
Consider turnover, profitability, banking conduct, existing debt, and credit history.
- 04
Prepare documents
Organise applicable KYC, entity, financial, tax, banking, stock, and receivable records.
- 05
Application & assessment
The lender independently evaluates the need, borrower profile, and proposed structure.
- 06
Sanction & terms
If approved, review the amount, structure, interest, margin, security, fees, reporting, and renewal conditions.
- 07
Documentation & security
Complete the applicable facility and security documentation.
- 08
Responsible utilisation
Use the facility only for the permitted business purpose and within sanctioned conditions.
- 09
Monitoring & review
Maintain records, submit required statements, and monitor utilisation and cash flow.
- 10
Renewal or adjustment
Prepare early for periodic review, when the lender may continue, modify, or reassess the limit.
Manage with discipline
Borrowing and operational control should work together
A facility can support timing differences, but it should not replace strong collections, inventory discipline, cash-flow forecasting, or sound business economics.
Estimate the genuine requirement
Review cash tied up in inventory and receivables, available supplier credit, and expenses due before collections. The lender may arrive at a different amount under its own assessment.
Improve cash flow internally
Faster invoicing, stronger collections, customer-credit controls, lower slow-moving stock, better purchase planning, and suitable supplier terms can reduce external finance needs.
Match finance to purpose
Working-capital finance generally suits short-term operations, while a term loan commonly suits defined longer-term expenditure. Avoid using short-term limits for unrelated fixed investments.
Understand total cost
Review interest, processing and renewal charges, documentation costs, taxes, penal charges, and other permitted fees together with the official facility documents.
Manage after sanction
Monitor drawings, avoid unnecessary use, provide required statements on time, maintain applicable insurance or security conditions, and understand persistent maximum utilisation.
Plan for renewal
Updated financials, banking records, stock and receivable statements, projections, business performance, and utilisation may affect periodic lender review.
Responsible facility management
Keep liquidity, records, and obligations in view
Working-capital finance is most effective when the business understands where cash is tied up, how quickly it returns, and what must be paid during the cycle.
Practical management checklist
- Use short-term funds only for permitted operating requirements
- Maintain accurate accounting, stock, receivable, tax, and banking records
- Track inventory days, collection days, supplier terms, and near-term cash flows
- Avoid treating the full sanctioned limit as permanent additional capital
- Do not rely on more debt to conceal a structural loss or persistent cash-flow problem
- Review drawing power, margins, reporting conditions, fees, and renewal dates
- Keep enough liquidity for interest and other obligations
- Disclose existing debt and material business information accurately
