Loan :- This is a common lament among small business owners of
companies that are growing rapidly. The problem may not be one of sales
and earnings, but rather that the debt is not structured properly.
A well-structured loan is one that provides enough money, but not too
much, and one that the borrower can repay without undue strain.
Following is a closer look at each of these elements.
In contrast, revolving debt cannot reasonably be expected to be repaid
within one year. The proceeds of the loan have been used to finance a
permanent investment in inventory and receivables (or working capital).
Yes, the receivables are being collected and the inventory is being
sold, but each must be constantly replaced. As such, there is no cash
except profit available to repay debt. Therefore, the debt revolves
until converted to an amortizing loan or replaced with contributed
capital.
Revolving debt is appropriate when a company is growing rapidly. It is
not an appropriate way to finance fixed assets or operating losses or
for uses other than investment in current assets.
