There might come a time when your business expenses might be slightly more than the funds in your bank account. How do you tackle this? By taking a loan or using your Credit Card? A better alternative could be an overdraft facility. By opting for an overdraft facility, you can get the necessary funds immediately and avoid a lengthy application process. So, what is this overdraft facility in a Current Account, and how can it help you? Let’s find out.
What is an overdraft facility?
An overdraft facility is a financial arrangement between you and the bank that allows you to overdraw on your business Current Account balance up to a certain limit for a fixed period of time. The overdraft facility can help you meet your urgent needs rather than raising money from other alternatives.
Features of the overdraft facility
Types of overdraft facility
There are different types of overdraft facilities that you can avail of. While an unsecured overdraft is available, it may also have a higher interest rate. On the other hand, you can choose from the secured overdraft facilities for a lower interest rate. Here are a few options for it.
In a nutshell
A Current Account with an overdraft facility can be of great help in times of financial emergencies. You can utilise the funds as needed and pay interest only on the amount borrowed. However, you need to use and manage this facility carefully because you don’t want it to snowball into a huge debt that burdens your profits. Also, make sure to repay the funds without default to maintain your credit score.
