What is a working capital line of credit?

A working capital line of credit is revolving financing that covers the everyday cost of running and growing your business: inventory, materials, payroll, and new orders. It funds the window between when money goes out and when it comes in. Unlike a term loan, which hands you a lump sum to repay on a fixed schedule, a line of credit is flexible: draw what you need, repay as revenue comes in, and draw again, up to your limit. You only pay for the capital you actually use.

Aion's working capital line of credit is asset-based, which means it's secured by your receivables, inventory, or IP. As your assets grow, your available credit grows with them, with no reapplying or renegotiating.

What it's used for

What businesses use a working capital line of credit for.

Most of our clients aren't covering a shortfall. They're funding growth that's arriving faster than the cash to pay for it.

01

Fund a bigger production run.

Take on the larger order without waiting for the last one to pay.

02

Buy inventory ahead of demand.

Stock up for a new contract or a busy stretch, on your timing.

03

Keep operations moving between invoices.

Cover payroll, materials, and day-to-day costs while receivables clear.

Compare

Working capital loan vs. line of credit, and how Aion compares.

"Working capital loan" and "working capital line of credit" often get used interchangeably, but they work differently, and most options force a tradeoff between size, speed, and cost.

Working capital / term loan

A lump sum up front, repaid on a fixed schedule. Predictable, but you pay interest on the full amount whether you use it or not, and you reapply every time you need more.

Traditional bank line of credit

Revolving and lower-cost, but slow to secure, often capped well below what a scaling business needs, and rigid on terms.

Fintech lenders

Fast and low-friction, but most cap out around $250K, far below a growing operation's needs.

Factoring

Advances cash against your invoices quickly, but takes over your client relationship and costs more per dollar.

Aion

A revolving working capital line of credit up to $5M, backed by your receivables, with draw-down-only pricing and an effective cost of about 2%. Integrated with your banking, so your line grows automatically as your receivables do.

Cost

What does an Aion working capital line of credit cost?

The cost of capital has two parts: a monthly facility fee, typically about 0.1% of your approved line, and the cost of what you actually draw. Because charges accrue daily on your outstanding balance and stop once you repay, most clients pay an average effective cost of capital of 2%, well below stated interest rates.

Annual interest rates typically range from 16% to 21% and vary with creditworthiness. Most clients pay an average effective cost well below stated rates.
