Working capital

Working capital is the everyday money a business uses to cover the gap between paying for what it needs and getting paid by its customers. Working capital financing is short-term funding meant to smooth that timing gap, payroll, inventory, supplies, or seasonal slow stretches, rather than a single large purchase. Lenders that provide it typically weigh a business’s revenue, cash flow, and time in business. YesLane is a funding marketplace that helps owners see which lenders work with businesses like theirs.
