A line of credit works like a business overdraft with its own limit. You are approved for an amount, draw what you need, repay it, and the available balance comes back.

Because you only pay interest on what you have drawn, it can be a cheaper way to cover regular ups and downs than taking a fixed loan you only partly use.
