How it works
A working capital loan gives your business immediate cash to cover short-term operating expenses. Unlike equipment financing or commercial real estate loans that attach to a specific purchase, working capital is flexible. You spend it on payroll during a hiring surge, stock seasonal inventory before UGA football weekends, or bridge the gap when receivables stretch out. Repayment terms typically run six to 18 months. Lenders look at your revenue history, bank statements, and cash flow rather than demanding perfect credit. Because Hazelcrest Group is a broker, we match your situation to multiple working capital lenders instead of forcing you into a single product.
Working capital
Most working capital loans for small business require at least six months in operation and monthly revenue above $10,000. Lenders want to see consistent deposits and enough margin to handle a payment. Credit matters, but cash flow matters more. A downtown Athens restaurant preparing for graduation weekend or a Watkinsville contractor waiting on a municipal payment both fit the profile. Startups often struggle unless they show traction. Businesses with open tax liens or recent bankruptcies face steeper hurdles. We review your bank statements and revenue docs before shopping your file, so you know your realistic options before lenders pull credit.
Athens businesses use operating capital loans to smooth out uneven revenue. The UGA academic calendar creates feast-and-famine cycles for retailers, restaurants, and service companies near campus and along the Oconee County line. A Bogart warehouse distributor might need inventory cash before a contract kicks in. A Hull HVAC company covers payroll between big commercial jobs. Seasonal landscapers in Winterville and Nicholson stock equipment and materials in March before revenue arrives in May. Working capital bridges those gaps without selling equity or maxing credit cards.
