How it works
Working capital loans deliver a lump sum or revolving line of credit to bridge the gap between accounts receivable and accounts payable. Unlike term loans earmarked for equipment or real estate, working capital financing covers short-term operational costs: vendor invoices, utility bills, marketing campaigns, and seasonal inventory. Repayment typically occurs over six to eighteen months, and because a broker like Foothill Advances shops multiple lenders, you gain access to programs that fit your cash-flow cycle rather than forcing your business into a one-size-fits-all product.
Clawson's compact downtown along Main Street and Fourteen Mile Road hosts independent retailers, salons, cafés, and professional-service firms that experience uneven revenue patterns. A boutique might need extra inventory before a trunk show, or a dental practice may wait sixty days for insurance reimbursements while staff salaries come due every two weeks. Traditional bank underwriting often moves too slowly for these timing gaps. Working capital loans let Clawson entrepreneurs pay suppliers on time, retain employees during slow weeks, and seize growth opportunities without depleting reserves. Because Foothill Advances is a broker, we match your situation to lenders who understand seasonal swings and local market conditions instead of relying on rigid credit-score thresholds alone.
We start every conversation by mapping your cash-flow timeline and identifying which expenses are urgent. A Clawson HVAC contractor, for example, might need to purchase replacement units in early spring before service calls peak in summer. We present options from our lender network, SBA 7(a) lines of credit, short-term working capital advances, invoice factoring, and more, then guide you through documentation and closing.

Our Warren office is minutes north via I-75, making in-person consultations simple for Clawson business owners.
