## 5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\
\
* **Cash Flow Facility - How does it work?** Our Cash Flow Facility is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, similar to a revolving loan, but with some added benefits. You won't encounter any monthly account or admin fees, and you only pay for what you actually use, if you decide to use it. When you apply for a Cash Flow Facility, you'll receive a pre-approved limit that you can easily see on your customer profile. Whenever you need funding, just start a draw-down request on your customer profile for the amount you need, as long as it's within your available balance.\
