Overdraft Facility

What is Overdraft?

An overdraft is a credit facility which is used to cover negative gaps in a business’ cash flow. There are businesses which receive payments after 30 days when they need to operate on a daily basis to meet their clients’ needs. To achieve this, an overdraft comes in to provide working capital needed to finance a company’s business operations while waiting for receipt of payments. For collateral, the items used as collateral under loans also serve the same purpose under overdrafts.
