A Bridge Loan is a short-term loan that is used until a person or company can arrange a more comprehensive longer-term financing. The need for a bridge loan arises when a company runs out of cash before it can obtain more capital investment through long-term debt or equity.

Short term bridge loans are even more important today as lenders and investors take more time approve a business for funding. NewMarket has hundreds or sources globally to bridge the gap to long term capital.
