Cash Credit

What is Cash Credit:

Cash Credit (CC) is a short-term financing option that allows businesses to withdraw money from their bank account beyond the actual balance, up to a pre-approved limit. It’s mainly used for working capital needs and operates like an overdraft facility. Here’s what it does:

  1. Working Capital Support:

    • Cash credit helps businesses meet day-to-day expenses like payroll, rent, inventory purchases, etc., without facing cash flow issues.
  2. Withdraw Anytime:

    • The business can withdraw funds as needed, up to the approved credit limit, offering flexibility.
  3. Interest on Utilized Amount:

    • Interest is only charged on the amount of money used from the cash credit limit, not the entire limit.
  4. Collateral Requirement:

    • Typically, businesses need to provide collateral, such as inventory, receivables, or fixed assets, to secure the cash credit facility.
  5. Renewable Facility:

    • Cash credit is generally renewable annually, based on the business’s performance and financial position.
  6. Continuous Fund Availability:

    • Unlike term loans, there are no fixed repayments. The business can use and repay funds repeatedly, keeping the cash flow steady.
