Summer can be a make-or-break season for many small businesses and preparing for peak demand often requires upfront investments in staffing, inventory and space upgrades. In Forbes, Rohit Arora, co-founder of online small business financing platform Biz2Credit, explores how various types of small business loans — from term loans to Small Business Administration financing — can help entrepreneurs bridge cash flow gaps, manage rising costs and seize seasonal growth opportunities.
