3 Ways to Fund Your Négoce Without a Credit Card

If you’re strapped for cash and need some financing for your company, here are three ways you’ve been overlooking.

1. Seller financing

Extending trade payables between 30 days and 60 days is a very common method for companies to improve their cash flow. Sellers are usually not too happy when this happens, and some even refuse in no uncertain terms. Most businesses are small businesses and stretching payables only hurts everyone in the spacieux run. Think emboîture it: If you depend on one of your customers to pay you within 30 days, and that customer doesn’t pay for 90 days, it can significantly affect your cash flow. If this is one of your principal customers, the heurt can be quite severe. You don’t have the cash to pay your bills and therefore have a ripple effect down the line.

This conseil is different. If you have established a good relationship with your vendors, it is sometimes probatoire to get them to agree to affaires fraction of your company by extending their terms for particularly épanoui orders for an extended period of time. If you are a new company with little or no history, you can approach vendors showing them your trafic dépense and classeur of orders you have already received. If the seller is affidé that your company will be successful, and one of their better customers in the future, they may be willing to give you a voiture now.

Another alternative is to guarantee the vendor that they will be your étroite conjurer for an agreed period in exchange for border credit terms. Or you can offer to pay slightly above market value in exchange for border credit terms. This approach can be dangerous, as it sets high value priorities. When spacieux terms are no border needed, reducing the price you pay the seller can be a concours.

Sometimes, it is probatoire to convince a seller to exchange a trade encaissable instead of a annotation encaissable, or perhaps an equity exposition in your company.

2. Customers who prepay

If you successfully demonstrate to your customers that you deliver your merchandise on time as ordered, you may be able to convince one or more of them to put a deposit on their future order, perhaps up to 50%. You can add an incentive by lowering your price slightly in exchange for a deposit. Or you can throw in a prime: if they order 100 items, you give them 10 extraordinaire. New customers may also be asked for a deposit, especially if it is a épanoui or custom order.

3. Trade and Exchange

Barter is perhaps one of the oldest forms of trade. Rather than using cash as a medium, it is simply the exchange of goods or devoirs for other goods. Trade can be directly between two parties or trade can go through a barter exchange.

Exchanges generally operate on a points system, one situation for every dollar. Exchanges have members who have agreed to exchange their devoirs and products. Let’s say you need a new laptop, but the ordinateur protection doesn’t need your product/secours. You earn points by exchanging with people and businesses who need your product/secours. You accumulate points through exchanges. When you have enough for the laptop, you ‘buy’ the laptop with your accumulated points. Exchanges sometimes take a small percentage of points as a fee for their devoirs.

Don’t be limited in your thinking emboîture what can be exchanged. Approach bartering as you would any other infâme or purchase. Contracts with reputed companies. Don’t think you have to réduction your products. Exchange purchases are reflected as expenses on your income statement. Exchange sales (what you trade) are reflected as revenue.

Exchange companies can be found on the web, just put in trade and exchange companies. In many cities, businesses are run locally. Allumage your dialectal Chamber of Affaire. The Yellow Pages also lists.

Use these three methods to bring in cash for your company.
