Business Lines
of Credit

Tap into your credit when the need arises — quickly and conveniently.

Working Capital Line of Credit

Delivering credit for maximum financial flexibility, a Commercial Lines of Credit meets your short-term financing needs like cash-flow management fluctuation and unexpected business expenses.

Asset-Based LOC

Asset-Based Lending uses formula-based advances backed by tangible collateral to create an asset-based loan designed to meet your specific needs. Revolving Lines of Credit secured by accounts receivable and inventory can help in the following scenarios:

  • Cash support for companies that are growing rapidly - either organically or through acquisition
  • Suffered a temporary downturn 
  • Seasonal borrowing needs

By taking the time to understand your cash conversion cycle, we can customize a borrowing solution that fits your unique needs.  In addition to revolving debt, Cogent can help finance equipment needs necessary for growth or replacement of existing machinery and equipment.

Examples of the industries we serve:

  • Manufacturing
  • Distribution
  • Wholesalers
  • Staffing
  • Business Services
  • Transportation (including trucking and marine)
  • Energy
  • Government Contractors
  • Importers
Recurring Revenue Lending

We offer working capital solutions for businesses that operate within the scope of annual service contracts.  Traditional asset-based lending relies on a borrower’s ability to deliver goods or services, then invoicing customers in arrears.  With recurring revenue lending, we apply the same formula, but it is based upon the recurring revenue created by the contractual relationship with your clients.

Examples of the industries we serve:

  • Software as a Service (SaaS)
  • Commercial Landscaping
  • Fire Suppression Maintenance
  • Alarm Monitoring
  • Commercial Cleaning and Janitorial
  • Commercial Pest Control
  • Digital Media and Advertising
  • Streaming Services
Purchase Order

Clients can find themselves with a unique opportunity that requires funding to source goods directly from a supplier for a key customer.  Utilizing the experience of Cogent’s Specialty Lending team and their technological edge, we are able to offer purchase order financing as a compliment to a revolving line of credit.  Purchase order financing allows us to direct funds to your supplier, thus enhancing both supply chain turnover and your liquidity.

  • Competitive rates for a wide range of long-term or seasonal business needs:
    • Seasonal fluctuations
    • Inventory
    • Capitalize on trade discounts
    • Working capital
    • Ongoing updates
  • Provides greater financial flexibility
  • Repayment customized based on your business's unique needs
  • Flexible repayment terms
Advised Guidance Facility

We provide financing for all types of assets such as real estate, equipment, and other fixed assets.  Sometimes it takes time to find the right asset to purchase.  In those cases, an Advised Guidance Facility might be an excellent choice for you.  With an Advised Guidance Facility, you are issued a pre-approved, non-revolving line of credit to make sure you have the money you need, when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a business line of credit?

A business line of credit is a flexible financing solution that gives your business access to funds up to an approved credit limit. You can borrow funds as needed, repay them, and draw from the available balance again, making it ideal for managing short-term financing needs.

How can a business line of credit help my business?

A business line of credit can help cover cash flow fluctuations, seasonal expenses, inventory purchases, payroll obligations, and unexpected business costs without requiring a new loan application each time funds are needed.

What can a business line of credit be used for?

Businesses commonly use lines of credit for working capital, inventory purchases, operational expenses, payroll, accounts receivable gaps, and other short-term funding needs.

How is a business line of credit different from a business term loan?

A business line of credit provides revolving access to funds that can be borrowed and repaid repeatedly, while a business term loan provides a lump sum that is repaid over a fixed period. Businesses often use lines of credit for ongoing expenses and term loans for larger one-time investments.

Do I pay interest on my entire credit limit?

No. Interest is generally charged only on the amount of funds you actually draw and use, not on the entire approved credit limit.

Can a business line of credit help manage seasonal cash flow fluctuations?

Yes. Many businesses use a line of credit to bridge temporary cash flow gaps caused by seasonal revenue changes, delayed receivables, or cyclical business expenses.

Can I use a business line of credit for unexpected expenses?

Yes. A line of credit provides quick access to capital that can help cover emergency repairs, equipment replacement, inventory shortages, or other unforeseen business expenses.

How often can I access funds from my line of credit?

You can generally draw funds as needed, up to your approved credit limit, throughout the term of the credit line, subject to the terms of your agreement.

Is a business line of credit secured or unsecured?

The structure depends on the specific credit facility and borrower qualifications. A Cogent Bank commercial lender can discuss available options and determine the best fit for your business needs.

What types of businesses can benefit from a business line of credit?

Businesses of many sizes and industries can benefit from a line of credit, particularly those that experience fluctuating cash flow, seasonal revenue cycles, or ongoing working capital needs.

What information is needed to apply for a business line of credit?

Applicants are typically asked to provide business financial statements, tax returns, ownership information, and details regarding the intended use of funds. Specific requirements vary based on the business and credit request.

Does Cogent Bank offer other business lending solutions?

Yes. In addition to business lines of credit, Cogent Bank offers Business Term Loans, SBA Loans, USDA Loans, and Commercial Real Estate Loans to support a variety of business financing needs.

When should I consider a business line of credit instead of an SBA loan?

A business line of credit may be a better fit for recurring short-term funding needs, while SBA loans are often used for larger projects such as acquisitions, real estate purchases, equipment financing, or business expansion.

Can a business line of credit support business growth?

Yes. A line of credit can provide flexible access to working capital that allows businesses to pursue growth opportunities, manage operating expenses, purchase inventory, or respond quickly to changing market conditions.
