What is a Payroll Loan?
A payroll loan is a type of small business financing that improves cash flow during times when finances might be tight. It is a short-term loan designed to ensure businesses can always pay their employees on time before the revenue comes in. They are typically used when waiting on invoices to get paid from customers, waiting for insurance payments, or when you know the money is coming, but it hasn't arrived just yet.
How Payroll Loans Work
Payroll funding comes in multiple forms. Some businesses leverage traditional loans to cover payroll costs. These are longer-term loans spread over several months. A line of credit is another way for businesses to access fast cash. Then there are merchant cash advances which get repaid over time with a business's credit card sales. Each type of loan has different terms and interest rates. Businesses take out the loan to cover payroll costs and as revenue comes in, they pay back the loan.

How To Use a Payroll Loan
