Revolving Credit for Creative Agencies
Creative agencies juggle variable costs — freelancers, media buying, production, and subcontractors — that fluctuate with project activity. A revolving credit facility provides flexible funding that matches this pattern: draw when project costs spike, repay when client invoices are collected.
Unlike a fixed-term loan, you are not paying interest on money you do not need. The RCF sits as a safety net, ready to deploy when a large project requires upfront investment or when several client payments are delayed simultaneously.
Key Benefits
- Match funding to project-by-project cash needs
- Cover freelancer and media costs before client payment
- Only pay interest on drawn amounts
- Ready access without re-applying for each project
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it to fund media buying?
Yes. Many agencies front media costs (Google Ads, social media spend, print media) on behalf of clients. An RCF covers this outlay until the client is invoiced and pays.
What if I only need it occasionally?
That is ideal for an RCF. You pay a small commitment fee on the undrawn amount (0.5-1% per annum) and only pay full interest when you draw. This makes it cost-effective for intermittent use.
Is it available for small agencies?
Minimum facility sizes are typically £25k-£50k. Agencies with £250k+ annual turnover are well-positioned to access revolving credit from alternative lenders.
How does it compare to a business credit card?
An RCF offers much higher limits, lower interest rates, and longer repayment terms than business credit cards. For agencies spending £10k+ per month on project costs, an RCF is significantly more cost-effective.
