  5. SBA LOANS SBA loans are the most desirable financing options because of their favorable terms like higher loan amounts, flexible repayment terms, and lower interest rates. Since these loans are guaranteed up to 85% by the federal government, lenders are able to offer excellent terms at less risk. Less risk means better loan terms structured as lump-sum “traditional” loans or lines of credit. 01 Because of the favorable terms on these loans, they are competitive to qualify for travel agencies and other businesses alike. A solid credit standing with a good business track record will be required to qualify for SBA loans. These loans can be used to make large purchases like fixed assets such as real estate and buildings as well as working capital. Popular SBA programs are SBA 7(a) loans and SBA 504/CDC loans. It is also important to note that the SBA loan application process is longer as compared to other types of business loans, involving a lot of paperwork, financials along with some SBA specific forms. www.onlinecheck.com

  7. BUSINESS LINES OF CREDIT 03 • The flexible use of capital is key for most businesses; this is where business lines of credit come handy. A business line of credit works similar to a credit card with the only difference is that you get cash in your business bank account rather than spending on a card. With a business line of credit, you approve for a credit line, which you “draw” against as and when you need capital. The best thing about a business line of credit is that you’ll only pay interest on what you draw—and you can generally use the full credit amount again once your draw is paid off. • A business line of credit is particularly helpful to manage cash flow issues like monthly payroll, or covering overheads. Using c credit line can help you through a cash crunch—making it a great option for seasonal businesses like travel agencies. www.onlinecheck.com

  8. 0% Intro APR Credit Card 04 Securing a 0% introductory APR business credit card can also help. With such cards, you can spend money with an interest-free predetermined period, which, in certain cases, goes up to a year. During this interest-free period, you don’t have to worry about accruing extra interest or fees on unpaid balances, and you can easily plan your repayment accordingly by the end of the interest-free period. Be cautious while using a 0% introductory APR business credit card once the predetermined period is over. After the period is over, the interest will start at a Prime market Rate so paying your balance before that is the key. You can get quick approval on a 0% intro APR credit card if you’re qualified. So, when quick cash is needed, don’t avert this business loan type. www.onlinecheck.com

If your travel agency don’t have the good credit or adequate paperwork to secure other business loan options, considering a merchant cash advance (MCA) or ACH loan can be another option. With an MCA or ACH advances, you’re exchanging your agency’s future credit and debit card revenue for immediate cash.
