What is working capital?
Working capital provides businesses with flexible access to funds used to manage day-to-day operations or short-term needs. These loans are designed to help businesses stay agile—covering gaps between receivables, expenses, and growth opportunities. Because working capital is tied closely to revenue and cash flow, approval is often based more on business performance than long-term projections.
Working capital is commonly used for:
- Payroll and operating expenses
- Inventory purchases
- Marketing and sales initiatives
- Covering seasonal cash flow gaps
- Unexpected repairs or short-term opportunities
Working capital terms, rates, and eligibility vary by lender and borrower qualifications. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is working capital?
Working capital is short-term financing used to manage operating expenses, cash flow gaps, or immediate business needs.
How fast can I receive funds?
Many working capital options fund as quickly as within 48 hours after approval and offer selection. This usually depends on how quickly the applicant can provide information required by the lender.
What can working capital be used for?
Funds can be used for payroll, inventory, marketing, operating expenses, or short-term growth opportunities.
How long does the application process take?
How many lenders review my application?
APPROVE's large network of lenders is constantly growing, however, our technology matches your application with the lender(s) most likely to offer you the best rates based on your business type and credit profile. If more than one lender is a good fit for your business and credit profile, you may receive competing offers to compare.
How does this affect my credit?
There is no impact to your personal credit, unless a personal guarantee is required. Personal guarantees will have an inquiry on their credit by some lenders. Because these credit inquiries happen in a short timeframe, and for the same products, credit bureaus recognize them as part of a normal shopping process and will view them as a single credit inquiry by lenders.
Who is working capital a good fit for?
Working capital is often a good fit for established businesses with consistent revenue that need flexible, fast funding.
Who is working capital not a good fit for?
It may not be ideal for startups, businesses with very inconsistent revenue, or companies seeking long-term, low-rate financing.
Do working capital loans require a personal guarantee?
Most working capital loans require a personal guarantee from business owners with significant ownership.
