Keeping the two apart in a request helps: shelf stock suits a small credit line, the stations suit equipment terms.

This site leads with working capital, and the cases below show the pattern it is built for: a cost that falls due before the income behind it. A contractor meets payroll before the general contractor releases a draw. A dental office buys supplies before claims are paid. A retailer pays a supplier invoice before the holiday stock sells.
