Funding for retailers, shops, and boutiques.

Business loans for retail stores, boutiques, specialty shops, e-commerce operators, and multi-location retailers. Fund inventory, expansion, seasonal buildups, and marketing campaigns.

The Overview

Retail financing that scales with the seasons.

Retail is seasonal, inventory-heavy, and cash-flow sensitive. Holiday buildups, unpredictable trends, and the constant pull between growing your product line and paying your rent make retail financing trickier than most industries.

We fund brick-and-mortar retailers, e-commerce operators, hybrid businesses, single-location boutiques, and multi-location chains. Products range from inventory-focused lines of credit to term loans for opening new locations to advances for time-sensitive supplier deals.

Common financing uses for Retail businesses

Holiday inventory buildup. Fund Q4 inventory purchases in September and pay down as sales come in.

New store opening. Cover build-out, initial inventory, marketing, and staffing for a new location.

E-commerce inventory. Bulk-buy from suppliers to hit margin targets on Amazon, Shopify, or your own site.

Marketing campaigns. Fund a major push during peak buying seasons.

Vendor payment terms. Take advantage of early-payment discounts by having cash on hand.
