Funding for Retail businesses

Stock up before peak season, fund a new storefront, or run a bold promotion — lines of credit keep inventory flowing and shelves full year-round.

The cash-flow reality

Challenges in retail

We've funded enough retail businesses to know exactly where the money gets tight. Here's what we structure around.

Inventory before revenue

You buy stock months ahead of selling it, tying up cash right when holiday and seasonal demand peaks.

Seasonal cash-flow swings

A huge fourth quarter can be bracketed by lean stretches, making steady overhead hard to cover.

Competing with the giants

Funding a renovation, new location, or marketing push is essential to stand out, but the up-front cost is steep.
