Line of Credit for Technology Companies
Draw $45,000 for immediate hiring when you win a contract. Pay it back from project revenue. Draw $25,000 for equipment two months later. A credit line gives IT companies the flexibility to access capital exactly when project and client demands require it.

How Credit Lines Work for IT Companies
A business line of credit is pre-approved capital you can access as business needs arise. Unlike term loans, you draw specific amounts for specific needs and only pay for capital actually deployed.
The Revolving Advantage
Pay down your line and that capacity becomes available again. A $200,000 line stays useful year after year. Draw for project hiring, pay back from revenue, draw again for next opportunity.
Project Timing
IT projects create variable capital needs. Lines of credit handle this perfectly: draw for project needs, repay from project revenue, repeat for the next contract.
Interest Efficiency
You only pay interest on funds actually drawn. A $250,000 line with $50,000 outstanding means you pay interest on $50,000. Unused capacity has zero cost.
Emergency Readiness
Pre-approved credit means immediate access when emergencies arise. Equipment failures, urgent client needs, or surprise opportunities can be addressed immediately.
Why IT Needs Revolving Access
Project-based businesses face variable capital needs that one-time loans do not efficiently address.
Unpredictable Capital Needs
New contracts, equipment failures, talent opportunities. You cannot predict when you will need capital, only that you will. Project-based business creates variable needs.
Repeated Application Cycle
Each capital need means new application, new documentation, new approval wait. By the time financing arrives, the opportunity has passed.
Paying for Unused Capital
Taking a $200,000 term loan when you might need various amounts throughout the year means paying interest on capital sitting unused.
Contract Timing
You win a contract needing $60,000 immediately. Then nothing for months. Then another contract needing $40,000. Fixed loans do not match this pattern.
Emergency Response Delay
Critical equipment fails. Client emergency requires immediate response. New loan applications do not work for emergencies.
Talent Capture Speed
Great engineer becomes available. You have 48 hours before they take another offer. Credit line lets you move fast.
Establishing Your IT Credit Line
Get approved once, then access capital whenever business demands.
Application
Complete application with business information, financials, and credit line request.
15 minutes
Underwriting
We evaluate business financials, revenue patterns (including MRR), and credit profile.
3-7 days
Approval
Receive your credit limit. Once established, this line remains available for ongoing use.
Upon approval
Draw and Repay
Request draws when needed. Funds typically deposit same or next day. Repay and reuse capacity.
Ongoing
On-Demand Capital for IT Needs
A business line of credit provides pre-approved access to capital you can tap as business demands. Draw for project hiring, cover AR gaps, capture talent, all without waiting for new approvals.
Pay Only for What You Use
Interest accrues only on drawn funds. A $200,000 line with $40,000 outstanding means you pay interest on $40,000.
Revolving Access
As you pay down your balance, that capacity becomes available again. One approval creates ongoing access.
Fast Draws
Once established, drawing funds takes minutes with same-day or next-day deposit. No new applications required.
Project Flexibility
Need $75,000 for contract A? Draw $75,000. Need $25,000 for contract B? Draw $25,000. Match draws to actual project needs.
No Prepayment Penalties
Pay down your balance anytime without fees. Aggressive repayment from project revenue frees up capacity.
MRR Consideration
We understand recurring revenue. MRR factors into credit limit determination appropriately.

Real Results
TechBridge Solutions
IT Services Company, Chicago IL
The Challenge
TechBridge's project-based business created unpredictable capital needs. One month required $80,000 for contract hiring. Three months later, $30,000 for equipment. Then $50,000 for another contract. Each need previously required a new financing application.
The Solution
We established a $175,000 business line of credit. TechBridge draws as contracts require, repays from project revenue, and reuses capacity for the next opportunity.
The Result
Over 18 months, TechBridge drew and repaid over $400,000 total while never paying interest on more than $80,000 at once. They execute contracts immediately instead of waiting for financing.
“Every contract used to mean a financing scramble. Now I draw what I need, pay it back, and have the same capacity for the next project. The line probably saves me $15,000 a year in financing costs alone.”
