Small business owners understand the dilemma rapid growth can bring. Business is booming, sales are up, but the funds to purchase necessary equipment and supplies to support that growth is not yet available. To scale, you need access to working capital.
There are many types of working capital available, but it can be daunting to choose the right one for your business. Bank loan? Invoice financing? Your personal credit card? The trouble with traditional financing options like these is that they are inflexible, laden with hidden fees and complex terms, and often take time to set up.
At Behalf, our mission is to help businesses grow by offering a short-term working capital solution without all the strings that are attached to traditional financing options.
