If your business experiences busy and slow seasons, you’re not alone.
Many industries – from retail to construction to hospitality – face predictable seasonal cash flow gaps. The key to navigating them confidently isn’t cutting costs to the bone or taking on unnecessary stress.
It’s strategic use of a line of credit.
What is a Line of Credit?
A line of credit is a flexible funding solution that allows you to:
✅ Access funds when needed ✅ Borrow only what you use ✅ Pay interest only on the amount drawn
Think of it as a financial safety net ready to deploy when cash flow tightens.
Why It’s Perfect for Seasonal Businesses
How to Use It Responsibly
✔️ Forecast Your Needs Review historical revenue and expenses to anticipate when and how much you’ll need to draw.
✔️ Draw Only What’s Necessary Treat it as a bridge, not extra cash to spend freely.
✔️ Plan for Repayment Ensure your busy season profits cover what you used, plus any interest accrued.
✔️ Keep It Active, Not Maxed Out Using your line responsibly builds lender trust and keeps your business fundable for future growth needs.
The Bottom Line
A line of credit isn’t just for emergencies. It’s a strategic tool to keep your business running smoothly, maintain strong vendor and payroll relationships, and seize opportunities even during cash flow gaps.
