If you needed a short-term business loan to cover your regular operating expenses, you would need what is known as a working capital loan. Whether you’re looking for funds to cover rent, wages, or inventory purchases, a working capital loan might be the solution to help you get your finances back on track.
You have other financing options, but it’s important to evaluate for the right fit, particularly if you want to preserve equity. With over 50% of a founder’s equity often lost in just the first several rounds of funding, founders have a delicate balance to navigate as they strive to fund growth, maintain equity, and bring in investment.
Let’s dive in to uncover what a working capital loan is, how to assess your capital needs, which mistakes to avoid, and how 5th Line can help you refine your financial strategies.

5th Line helped us identify lenders, get into the conversation, and complete a debt raise in a historically difficult market. The access to capital helps us play offense and continue to invest in growth while many competitors cannot. James was a pleasure to work with and provided great advice and counsel throughout the process.
5th Line, under the leadership of James Turner, has developed an extensive portfolio of “Potential Investors “ to meet the needs of most borrowers. By having 5th Line prequalify investors, based on their intensive deep dive into our operations to ensure there was a strategic alignment between all parties, my job was significantly simplified allowing me to focus more on deal structure. Time is Money, my time was spent where I add the most value, and 5th Line made that happen!
We needed to refinance a term loan with a hefty bullet coming due on our balance sheet.

The process was quick and efficient and now that it’s closed we can return to focusing on growing the business.
