A revolving loan is a form of credit issued by banks that allows businesses of all sizes, including SMEs, to have additional cash for short-term financing and funding. Revolving loans give borrowers complete flexibility to re-borrow and repay the loan with no fixed repayment periods. After each repayment the credit limit is automatically restored without the need for re-application.

The one key differentiating feature between revolving loan and business instalment loan is how they operate. Instalment loan involves a lump sum repayable principal amount, which SMEs pay back with interest every month. Revolving loan, on the other hand, provides a pre-set line of credit to SMEs, allowing them to withdraw the cash they need immediately. After the amount has been repaid, the credit limit will be automatically restored, and you can re-borrow conveniently and flexibly at any time without having to apply again.

A short-term business loan is a loan with a repayment term of one year or less. Short-term loans provide solutions for the applicant to maintain production and operation cash flow. Revolving Term Loan is one of the short-term business loans. For example, DBS’ Revolving Term Loan allows SMEs to obtain short-term loan at any time for emergency needs. The loan repayment plan is flexible and can meet the repayment needs of customers, even for short-term loan. In addition, customers do not need to reapply and can easily borrow again.
