While having a business frequently presents challenges, a business line of credit can give you some well-needed financial breathing room. It can assist small business owners in obtaining funds to meet short-term cash flow needs.
The benefits of having a business line of credit for small business
Finding the right funding for your small business can be challenging as there are many options available, and it can be difficult to determine which one is right for you. A business line of credit can be a great choice for small businesses that need access to funds on an ongoing basis. Some of the benefits of having a business credit line rather than a loan include quick access to cash, only paying interest on the funds you use, and being able to cover expenses anytime you need to.
Prospa listened to the needs of Kiwi small business owners and realised that a business line of credit was an ideal solution for them. As New Zealand’s small business lending specialists, we continue to develop business finance options to help businesses in need of financial assistance. Through our business line of credit, we can help more small businesses grow and take advantage of opportunities with support from our friendly team of business lending specialists.
What makes a business line of credit significant for small businesses
If you have a business line of credit in place, you can face challenging situations in business with confidence, knowing that you will have access to the funds you require on the spot. Additionally, a business line of credit allows you to obtain short-term funding for paying financial or operational expenses.
If you’re considering a cash flow safety net, the Prospa Business Line of Credit can provide you with quick and seamless access to funds. In fact, by this time tomorrow, you could have ongoing access to the funds you need to help you get on top of your finances. The Prospa Line of Credit is also highly accessible via the Prospa online portal. Once you have logged in, viewing transactions, drawing down funds to your nominated business bank account, and directly paying invoices and suppliers will be a breeze. Many businesses also prefer a line of credit over short-term business loans or other business lending options because it provides more flexibility, particularly when dealing with unexpected expenses or meeting ongoing needs.

A business line of credit (LOC) is a flexible loan for businesses that works in a similar way to a credit card. Companies draw money from their credit line as needed, only paying interest on the portion of money used. As they repay the amount borrowed, they replenish the funds available. Typically, a LOC loan may be unsecured or secured, depending on the size of the line of credit requested and the evaluation results.
With Prospa NZ, we offer a business line of credit with ongoing, flexible access to funds up to $150K to help you stay on top of cash flow fluctuations. Prospa requires no upfront asset security to access up to $150K of Prospa funding.
Whether you run a cafe, a boutique, an online store, or practically any type of business, you can apply for the Prospa Business Line of Credit if you can meet these minimum eligibility criteria: minimum time trading of six months, minimum monthly turnover of $5K, business owner must be over the age of 18, and business owner must be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.
