Working Capital Formula = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
Current assets are the tangible and intangible items that your company owns and can be easily turned into cash within one business cycle. Along with your checking and savings account, this includes things like accounts receivable, highly liquid marketable securities, inventory, and other shorter-term prepaid expenses.
Current liabilities include all of the debts and expenses firms expect to pay within one business cycle. This typically includes all of the normal costs associated with running a business: utilities, rent, matierials and supplies, interest and principal payments on debt, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities and income taxes.

+
How Do I Get a Small Business Loan if I Have Bad Credit?
Some funding products like merchant cash advances and invoice factoring are less credit dependent because these financing products are based on sales instead of a credit report.
Similarly, equipment financing does not have as much emphasis on credit because the equipment can be used as collateral if you default on your loan. Many of our financing solutions can help you build business credit as well.
+
Can I Get a Small Business Loan for a New Business or Startup?
Startups almost never qualify for traditional bank loans, and that is true for Credibly’s business loans and financing as well.
However, there are a lot of options in small business loans for new businesses and startups, including:
- Business credit cards
- Personal loans
- Your own savings
+
How Can I Use a Small Business Loan?
“Flexible” means that you can use the capital to fund whatever your business needs.
Some business loans are flexible in their loan usage options, such as a working capital loan, business expansion loan, merchant cash advance, business line of credit, or SBA loan.
However, some loan and financing options are not flexible. Equipment financing can only be used to purchase or lease equipment. Any type of real estate loan will also be specific to funding a physical business location.
+
What Should I Consider Before Applying for a Small Business Loan Online?
Before asking “how to apply for a small business loan?” you should first consider whether the capital will help your business grow or help your business survive a crisis.
If you don’t have a good reason for a business loan, the fees and interest can really add up.
However, if a business loan will help you buy new equipment, hire needed staff, or survive a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, then you should consider each of the following questions when reviewing the loan.
- How much capital does my business need?
- How much is the interest rate and APR for this loan?
- What are the fees or prepayment penalties for this loan?
- How are payment or remittance amounts determined (installments, percentage remittances, etc.?)
