Working capital is the majority of Canadian business borrowing

68.8% of business requests are under $50,000, and 36.9% are under $10,000.

This is the everyday end of business finance: payroll across a slow month, inventory ahead of a season, a receivable that has not landed, a supplier requiring payment before a customer pays you.

Everyday operations borrowing averages $89,090 and inventory purchases average $78,083, both well below the $98,168 overall average.

Matching the product to the gap

The structure matters more than the rate here, because working capital gaps are short and recurring.

A term loan gives a lump sum with fixed payments. Suits a known one-time gap.

A line of credit revolves. You draw what you need and repay as receivables land. For a recurring seasonal gap, this is almost always the right structure and a term loan is almost always the wrong one.

A merchant cash advance takes a share of daily card sales. Repayment scales with revenue, which suits variable trade, but it is priced as a factor rather than an APR and costs more.

Invoice financing advances against specific receivables. Suits businesses whose gap is entirely timing.

The cost of the gap, not just the cost of the loan

Working capital borrowing is worth comparing against what the shortfall costs.

  • Supplier early-payment discounts frequently run 2% for paying ten days early. Missing them across a year is a real cost
  • Missed inventory ahead of a season is lost margin, not deferred margin
  • Late payroll has consequences beyond money

That comparison, not the rate in isolation, is what decides whether short-term borrowing is worth it.

What lenders check

Deposit consistency over revenue size. Revenue-based lenders read the business account and assess regularity.

Time in business. 11 lenders fund under 12 months of trading.

Existing commitments. Stacked advances are the most common reason a working capital application is declined. Lenders read the account and can see other daily or weekly debits.

Revenue floor. Minimum monthly revenue requirements vary, and a small number of lenders accept below $10,000.

Common questions

How fast can a business get working capital?

Revenue-based lenders assessing the business bank account directly can fund within a day or two. Term lenders requiring financial statements take longer.

Is a line of credit better than a term loan for working capital?

For a recurring or seasonal gap, generally yes. Term loans suit a known one-time need.

Can I get working capital with poor personal credit?

Revenue-based products weight business deposits more heavily than owner credit, though owner credit still matters at smaller amounts.

What is stacking, and why does it matter?

Taking a second advance while a first is outstanding. Lenders can see the debits in your account, and it is the most common cause of decline.
