What Happens When Your Bank Calls Your Line of Credit?

If your bank reduces or calls your line of credit, your business isn't necessarily in trouble — but your financing strategy might be. Here's what Canadian business owners can do

Most business owners don’t think about their bank line until the day it stops working.

Then the call comes.

“We’re reducing your facility.” “We need additional security.” “Your covenant review has flagged some concerns.”

It’s a gut-punch — especially when your business is actually doing fine. Revenue is up. Customers are paying. You’re winning contracts you couldn’t have landed two years ago.

But banks don’t just lend against what’s happening now. They lend against what happened before. And if your history doesn’t tell the story your present does, that line becomes a liability, not an asset.

The good news: your receivables tell a different story.

At Capitally, approval is based on your customers’ creditworthiness — not your financial history. If you’re invoicing good companies, you may have more working capital available to you than your bank currently recognizes.

You don’t have to lose the business you’ve built. You just need a different tool.
