Recognizing opportunities that can lead to business growth is an important skill for business owners and managers. It could be hiring staff with the expertise and connections to bring in new clients, or the chance to buy out a competitor. Whatever the opportunity, it usually takes money to make it happen.  Many businesses, especially newer start-ups and those that are very small, don't have a lot of extra money in the bank to invest in opportunities that come their way. For the first few years of a new business, and often for a long time after that, income may not match expenses, and it is tough to make ends meet each month, let alone add to their savings. ### If You're Not Growing, You May Be Shrinking The problem with letting opportunities pass you by is that it makes it more difficult for your company to grow. Sometimes it's possible to expand little by little, but the road to success isn’t usually so smooth. When growth doesn't happen, your business can go stagnant. Sometimes businesses even fail because they aren't able to seize the opportunities that come their way.  Of course, it's possible for some businesses to get a bank loan to get the money they need. But start-ups are often refused credit because of the high failure rate of new businesses, and in this [ongoing tight credit market](http://gainesvillebizreport.com/old/small-businesses-coping-with-a-tight-credit-market/), even established businesses are often expected to have assets in order to get a loan. Another problem is that bank loans can take weeks or months to come through. By then, the opportunity may have passed. ### A Fast Solution For Needed Capital Business cash advances can give merchants the cash they need to fund their growth. From start to finish, you can get cash in a matter of days, and you don't need collateral or a high credit rating. By arranging to pay back the loan with a percentage of your future receivables, you can secure the funding you need and pay it back at a variable rate that you can afford.  Quick business cash advances can make it possible to capitalize on sudden opportunities like buying a competitor's inventory at a great bargain so that they can pay off creditors and liquidate quickly. Being able to take advantage of opportunities can mean the difference between gaining market share and having others gain on you. ![time_for_action](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/time_for_action.png?width=290&name=time_for_action.png "time_for_action") ### Business Cash Advances Can Be A Sound Business Practice It takes money to make money, or so the saying goes.
