Managing cash flow and repayment

Landscaping businesses often use lines of credit for cash‑flow management and merchant cash advances for off‑season working capital (elitefunders.com).

The Texas Small Business Credit Initiative allocates $472 million for loans of $5,000 up to $5 million through its Capital Access Program and up to $20 million through its Loan Guarantee Program (sofi.com).

Equipment finance agreements (EFAs) require a minimum loan amount of about $15,000, run 24 to 84 months, and the lender holds a lien until the balance is paid off (fivewestfinancial.com).

• Identify whether a line of credit or a term loan fits your seasonal cash‑flow pattern.

• Ask the lender for a sample repayment schedule and write down the monthly payment amount.

• Check if the lender places a lien on the equipment and note when it will be released.
