Why would marketing companies benefit from a line of credit? The best use of borrowed money is to make more money with it! As an owner of a marketing company, you would most likely agree that your firm usually doesn’t buy products to sell, but charge clients for services. These services may have hard costs associated with them and can be utilized by the marketing company and sold to clients for a premium. Some of our marketing firms use a line of credit to function in this application. For example, if you bought advertising for a client and charged a fee based on management of the advertising spend, then you are leveraging line of credit funds as a reason to charge for a service.
People not in the marketing industry don’t understand all the moving parts and expenses associated with marketing. The copywriting, graphic design, copywriters, software and subscriptions…these things all add up. If a marketing company is waiting on Accounts Receivables to come in, they can use cash from the line of credit to pay for operation expenses and keep freelancers and/or employees paid.
