business to seek external credit for many reasons including
cashflow and expansion.

this they can often become strapped for cash even if they
have many thousands owing to them.
One
major cash flow problem of a small business in VAT or sales
tax, depending on the scheme you are working to with your
goverment agency in your country, many small businesses
find they have to pay the sales tax to the IRS or Customs

that many small companies take out a loan, to cover the
gap in the meantime.

general, if your business is constantly having financing
problems with cashflow you may want to carfully consider
the pros and cons of getting a loan to cover your cash flow.

small business loan, if your cashflow is working well you
would probably still need cash flow to expand. If the cashflow
is not there then you could find yourself in a pickle.
