Stress less about cash flow
A healthy stream of funds is essential for every successful business. But daily fluctuations can make it a challenge to make sure the cash is ready to use when you need it most.
Stream Working Capital is a cash flow loan and intuitive working capital platform that lets you unlock cash tied up in your trade receivables. This means you can access the funds you need quickly, using your outstanding invoices as loan security.
How does it work?
1. Sign up and get access
With a quick and easy online loan application process, and a platform that’s available 24 hours a day, for funding available when you need it. All you need to do is:
- Provide a few details about you and your business
- Connect your accounting software to Stream Working Capital
- You’ll see a potential credit limit – and if you’re happy, just click ‘Accept’
We’ll then get in touch to finalise the legal documentation and any outstanding approval requirements for your cash flow loan.
2. Nominate invoices to lend against
Once approved, you can explore the dashboard to select which of your customers’ invoices you’d like to nominate to lend against. Credit limits are tailored to your business and your available limit will rise and fall in real time based on the value of your current outstanding invoices. The more invoices you nominate, the higher your available limit could be.
3. Access funds to keep your cash flow moving
Use as much or as little as your business needs and only pay interest on the amount you draw down, with interest calculated daily on the outstanding balance. Your loan balance is then automatically adjusted each day, based on your customers paying their invoices.
