Creditlinker

14 ways to get funded.
All with protection built in.

Five categories of business financing, each structured around how the deal gets repaid and what backs it if it doesn't.

Loans & Credit Lines

Medium Risk

Working Capital Loan

You are funding a documented cash gap in a business that already has revenue coming in. The deal is tied to a specific, verified payment cycle, so repayment is not based on hope. You get your money back when that cycle closes, backed by the business's cashflow history.

Secured by

Verified cashflow history + 10% reserve

Medium Risk

Term Loan

You deploy a fixed amount once and receive equal monthly repayments over 12 to 36 months. The repayment schedule is built around what the business has actually earned historically, so you know what is coming back and when. This is for growth deals with real numbers behind them, not distressed situations.

Secured by

Business cashflow + personal guarantee

Medium Risk

Revolving Overdraft

You provide a standing credit limit that the business draws from and repays in cycles. Every repayment returns your capital, ready for the next deal. This is only open to businesses with a long, verified transaction record.

Secured by

Cashflow history + 10% reserve

Finance Against Assets

Low Risk

Equipment Finance

You fund a specific piece of equipment the business needs. Title stays with the financer pool until fully repaid. If the business defaults, the asset is repossessed and sold. The equipment is the security, not the business's word.

Secured by

Equipment title held by financer pool

Low Risk

Inventory Finance

You are lending against physical stock the business already owns and holds in a registered warehouse, not stock it plans to buy. A warehouse receipt is assigned to the financer pool as control. Repaid as the stock is sold to verified buyers.

Secured by

Warehouse receipt + independent valuation

Low Risk

Asset Leasing

You purchase an asset outright and lease it to the business for a fixed monthly payment. Ownership stays with the financer pool for the entire lease term. The business never holds title. Only assets that bring in direct, trackable revenue qualify.

Secured by

Financer pool retains asset ownership

Finance Against Confirmed Receivables

Low Risk

Invoice Discounting

Work is done. Invoice is raised. The buyer has not paid yet, but payment is due in 30 to 90 days. You advance up to 80% of that invoice value now. When the buyer pays, the collection account settles you first. The invoice is what backs your position.

Secured by

Assigned invoice + buyer credit check

Low Risk

Contract Revenue Advance

The business holds a signed, recurring contract with a reliable counterparty, such as a retainer or supply agreement. You advance against the next few months of payments that are locked in by contract, not projected. The contract is what creates the repayment obligation.

Secured by

Signed contract + counterparty verification

Low Risk

Receivables Purchase

You buy a verified book of short-term receivables at a discount and collect directly from debtors. The business gets its cash upfront and is out of the picture. You earn the difference between what you paid and what you collect.

Secured by

Verified receivables book + payment history

Supplier & Trade Finance

Medium Risk

Purchase Order Finance

A business has a confirmed order but needs capital to fulfil it. You fund the production or procurement cost. Repayment comes from the buyer's invoice settlement, which is already locked in by contract before you put in anything.

Secured by

Confirmed PO + buyer credit assessment

Medium Risk

Supplier Payment Finance

A buyer needs goods from a supplier who wants payment upfront. You pay the supplier directly on the buyer's behalf. The buyer then repays you on agreed terms, backed by their verified cashflow, not the goods.

Secured by

Buyer cashflow + verified trading record

Medium Risk

Extended Payment Terms

A supplier delivers goods but does not wait for payment. You pay the supplier on day one and hold the receivable. The buyer settles with you on the agreed date. The supplier gets paid immediately; the buyer gets time.

Secured by

Signed supply contract + buyer credit check

Contract-Backed Service Finance

Medium Risk

Milestone Contract Finance

A service business has a signed contract with defined payment milestones. You fund the operating costs between those milestones: payroll, equipment, overheads. The contract secures your position. Repaid when milestone payments come in from the client.

Secured by

Signed contract + milestone payment schedule

Medium Risk

Revenue-Share Agreement

You provide capital in exchange for a fixed cut of the business's verified contract receipts over a set period. Not gross revenue, not projections. Only active contracts with named counterparties qualify. The share and the timeline are both fixed upfront.

Secured by

Active contract + revenue tracking

Every deal has protection layers built in.

10% of every deal is set aside as a reserve. Optional insurance sits on top. For asset and equipment deals, the asset itself can be recovered. These layers absorb losses before they reach your money. But this is still business financing, not a savings account. Risk is real and returns are not guaranteed.
