Working Capital Finance Program

Smarter, Fairer, Faster Capital for Growth-Focused Businesses

Growing businesses don’t fail because they lack customers — they struggle because cash doesn’t arrive when
expenses are due.

The Working Capital Finance Program from Better Local Capital helps businesses manage that timing gap while
building the systems needed to grow responsibly.

This is not just access to capital.
It’s a structured program designed to help you get funded, stay funded, and grow with confidence.

Working Capital Finance Program

What the Program Is

The Working Capital Finance Program provides short-term, flexible financing to help businesses cover
costs while waiting to get paid — paired with training and technical support to reduce risk and support
long-term growth.

Funds may be used for:
  • Accounts Receivable – covering expenses while invoices are outstanding
  • Purchase Orders – fulfilling confirmed orders
  • Mobilization expenses – payroll, materials, and startup costs tied to active contracts

How Control Accounts Work

As part of the program, funded payments flow through a Control Account.

A Control Account is a designated business bank account used to receive payments related to funded contracts. Loan repayment happens automatically from this account before remaining funds are released to your operating account.

In many cases, this can be an account at the bank you already use, as long as the bank supports control account arrangements.
This structure:
  • Keeps repayment predictable
  • Reduces manual tracking and follow-ups
  • Protects both your business and the lender

You continue running your business through your operating account as usual.

Why Participate in the WCFP?

Capital + Support That Actually Helps Your Business Grow

Most lenders focus on whether you can repay a loan.
We focus on whether your business gets stronger while you’re using it.

The Working Capital Finance Program combines working capital, customized training, and hands-on technical assistance—all designed to support real growth.

This is not passive learning or generic advice.
It requires participation, but everything is practical, relevant, and tailored to your business.
