What is a Revolving Credit Facility?

A revolving credit facility (RCF) is a flexible business funding line that allows businesses to access capital as required, rather than taking a fixed-term loan. It provides ongoing access to funding, with the ability to draw, repay and reuse capital as needed.

  • Draw funds when required
  • Repay as cash flow allows
  • Reuse capital without reapplying

Interest is only charged on the amount drawn, making it a scalable and cost-efficient solution for managing working capital and liquidity.

Revolving Credit Facilities FAQs

How Does a Revolving Credit Facility Work?

A revolving credit facility provides an agreed funding limit, which a business can draw down and repay on an ongoing basis. As funds are repaid, they become available to draw again, creating a continuous funding cycle aligned to the business’s cash flow and working capital needs.

Interest is only charged on the amount drawn, making it a flexible and cost-efficient way to manage short-term funding requirements.

What Can a Revolving Credit Facility Be Used For?

Revolving credit facilities are commonly used to support ongoing working capital and short-term funding requirements.

  • Working capital
  • Stock and inventory purchases
  • Managing short-term cashflow gaps
  • Funding growth and expansion

Because funds can be drawn, repaid and reused, an RCF provides flexible access to capital as business needs evolve.

Are Revolving Credit Facilities Secured or Unsecured?

Revolving credit facilities can be structured as either secured or unsecured, depending on the business and its balance sheet.

Unsecured RCF

  • No asset security required
  • Typically based on cash flow
  • Faster to arrange and more flexible

Secured RCF

  • Backed by receivables, stock or property
  • Allows for larger facilities
  • Typically offers lower cost

At Enness Global, we structure the most appropriate combination based on your funding requirements and available assets.

How Much Can You Borrow With a Revolving Credit Facility?

Facilities are structured based on the business profile, underlying assets and cash flow.

  • Typical facilities range from £100,000 to £10 million+
  • Pricing can start from approximately 4% over the base rate
  • Interest is only paid on drawn funds

Every facility is tailored, with total borrowing capacity and pricing dependent on the overall funding structure.

Why Do Businesses Use Revolving Credit Facilities?

Businesses use revolving credit facilities to access flexible, ongoing capital without the need to reapply for funding. They are particularly effective for managing fluctuating cash flow, supporting growth and ensuring liquidity is available when needed.

Because funds can be drawn, repaid and reused, revolving credit facilities provide a scalable solution for businesses with ongoing working capital requirements.

Is a Revolving Credit Facility Suitable for Your Business?

Revolving credit facilities are typically suited to established UK businesses with consistent cash flow or strong underlying assets. They are particularly effective for businesses with:

  • Ongoing working capital requirements
  • Seasonal or fluctuating revenue
  • Regular inventory or stock purchases
  • A need for flexible, reusable funding

At Enness Global, we assess your working capital cycle to determine how a revolving credit facility can be structured to support your business.

Revolving Credit Facility vs Term Loan

A revolving credit facility provides flexible access to capital, allowing funds to be drawn, repaid and reused. A term loan, by contrast, provides a fixed amount of capital with a structured repayment schedule.

Revolving facilities are typically used for working capital and short-term liquidity, while term loans are more suited to long-term investments or capital expenditure.

Typical Revolving Credit Facilities We Structure

We structure revolving credit facilities across a range of scenarios, tailoring each facility to the business’s working capital cycle and funding requirements.

  • £250k–£1m unsecured revolving credit lines
  • £1m–£5m secured facilities backed by assets
  • Blended structures combining RCF with asset-based lending

Our approach is focused on structuring, not selling.

We:

  • Assess your working capital cycle
  • Structure secured or unsecured facilities
  • Introduce the most appropriate lenders
  • Negotiate terms and manage execution

The result is a facility designed to work with your business, not restrict it.
