Retail / E-commerce working capital & lending
POS or platform-deposit cash flow; strong seasonal patterns (Q4 dominant for most retail; back-to-school, holidays for specialty). Revenue-based underwriting available — businesses with strong monthly revenue qualify even when credit is imperfect.
Common uses of capital in retail & e-commerce
- Inventory pre-buys ahead of peak season
- Marketing spend (Meta, Google, Amazon) timed to drive seasonal sales
- Multi-channel expansion (adding e-commerce to brick-and-mortar or vice versa)
- POS or fulfillment infrastructure upgrades
- Bridge between peak sales and supplier payment terms
Best-fit lending products for retail & e-commerce
- Working capital advance / MCA — pre-Q4 inventory deals are the canonical use case
- Lines of credit — for ongoing inventory replenishment
- Invoice factoring — for B2B wholesale retailers
- Equipment financing — POS, fulfillment, signage
- Seasonality & timing
- Q4 dominant; need working capital secured by August-September to fund inventory + marketing for Q4.
- Qualification benchmark
- Online retailers with $50K+ monthly platform revenue (Shopify, Amazon, etc.) qualify for working capital based on platform deposit history. Brick-and-mortar with $40K+ monthly POS qualifies similarly.
