As stated, it really depends on your business and more your need. If you are seeking working capital, your can factor your invoices if you have accounts receivables.  If you need cash to complete job orders you already have, look into purchase order financing.  If you are a retail or service business and you accept credit cards as payment from your customers, then you could seek out a business cash advance. There are also alternatives to these if your business does not fit them exactly. There on secured and unsecured business loans that look at your credit and cash flow - or, if you have equipment that you own outright, you can always sell that to a leasing company for the cash you need, then lease that equipment back. These are some of the most widely used - other businesses use personal and business credit cards for working capital. Our website is designed just for this question - we provide information about all types of business loans and working capital loans.  Not looking to promote our site here - just that we have over a 100 pages outlining sources of business financing and how each works which is just way to much to put in this reply. If you could re-post with more specifics about your business and need - then could point you in a better direction.
