Common reasons include:
- Lower your payments: This will reduce your fixed costs and breakeven to make your operation more competitive.
- Provide cash flow relief: If the cash going out of an operation is greater than the cash coming in, the money has to come from somewhere. Without a solution like refinancing, producers might be forced to dip into working capital or make decisions that aren't in the best interest of their business, such as selling a load or two of grain just to pay bills.
- Help retain working capital. Cash liquidity, or working capital, is important to every operation. Working capital is your short-term risk-bearing ability, and it is hard to run a business without it.
