Financing Solutions

An overdraft facility allows Corporates to draw funds from their current account up to the overdraft limit approved.

It is a short-term, usually up to 12 months standby working capital credit facility which is usually renewable on an annual basis.

Provided by the bank for the sole purpose of financing the everyday operations of the company, working capital solutions are not used to buy long-term assets or investments but are used to finance daily operational needs such as accounts payable and wages.

Working capital finance is ideal for companies that have high cyclical sales to help with periods of reduced business activity and periods when revenue generation is unpredictable.
