Business overdrafts - how do they work?

  • Business overdrafts work by allowing you to continue to access funds after your business' account balance falls below zero, giving you greater cash flow flexibility.

  • Business credits cards are an alternative to overdrafts, which work in a similar way to personal credit cards - but with features like expenses tracking and the ability to add employees to the same account.

  • Revolving credit facilities are very similar to overdrafts in the sense that they provide a consistent source of business funding with a pre-approved limit.

  • Merchant cash advances could be another viable option, allowing you to advance cash against your future card sales, with flexible repayments and the ability to top up once a portion of the advance has been repaid.
