Compared to a loan or line of credit, mortgages generally allow you to borrow more money at a lower rate of interest which keeps your payment more affordable.

  • Utilize the equity in your property to refinance, consolidate debt or expand your operations.

Business Operating Lines of Credit

A line of credit gives you access to funds to help cover short-term gaps in cash flow and cover operating expenses within your business. You can use funds whenever you need them, and interest is only charged on the amount you borrow.

  • Variable interest rate
  • Easy, flexible access to funds to help improve cash flow
  • Minimize your interest expense by only paying interest on the funds you are using.
  • It can be attached to your operating account as an authorized overdraft.

A Letter of Credit is an assurance of repayment to a third party.  It allows you to continue to maintain cash flow and working capital by eliminating the need to make advance payments or deposits.

  • Built in safeguards for things like inspections, quality control delivery times, etc.
  • Provides your suppliers with a level of confidence that can improve your terms and cash flow requirements.
