Why Diversifying Your Funding Sources is Critical

You’ve heard the saying: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. That advice doesn’t just apply to investing—it’s essential in how you fund your business.


At Lexington Capital Holdings, we’ve seen the difference between businesses that rely on one funding source—and those that have options.


The difference? Stability, leverage, and long-term growth.

The Risk of Relying on a Single Source


Whether it’s a line of credit, a bank loan, or a merchant cash advance, relying on just one source of funding creates real vulnerability:


  • What happens if your credit line is reduced or revoked?
  • What if your primary lender changes their terms?
  • What if you outgrow your current solution?


One roadblock—and your business momentum is stalled.


The Benefits of Diversification


Having multiple funding options gives your business:


✅ Flexibility – Use different sources for different needs (e.g., working capital vs. equipment financing) ✅ Stability – If one well dries up, others are still flowing ✅ Negotiating Power – You’re not tied to one lender’s terms ✅ Readiness – You can act fast when opportunities arise


Think of it like building a financial toolkit—each tool serves a different purpose, and together, they keep your business running smoothly.


What Diversified Funding Looks Like


Smart businesses often use a mix of:


  • Term loans for larger long-term investments
  • Lines of credit for cash flow gaps
  • Revenue-based funding for flexible repayment
  • Equipment financing for productivity upgrades
  • Bridge loans for short-term, time-sensitive needs


At Lexington Capital Holdings, we help you build a customized funding stack that works together—not against you.


Don’t Wait Until You’re Desperate


The best time to diversify your funding isn’t when you’re in a cash crunch—it’s before you need it.


Create options now, so you can move faster, negotiate better, and grow smarter later.
