Funding by sector

Retail & e-commerce finance

Retail and e-commerce success often means buying stock months before the cash comes back. We match shops and online sellers to working capital and revenue-based funding that lets you stock up for peak, invest in marketing, and grow without choking cashflow.

Check eligibility

No credit check to see your options.

Common funding needs

Buying inventory ahead of a peak season

Marketing and customer-acquisition spend

Multi-channel and new-product expansion

Smoothing the gap between buying stock and selling it

Worth knowing

A revolving facility lets you draw to buy stock and repay as it sells — you only pay for what you use.

If most sales go through a card terminal or online checkout, revenue-based funding can flex with your takings.

Frequently asked questions

Can I borrow to buy stock for a peak season?

Yes — a revolving credit facility or term loan can fund a stock purchase ahead of demand, repaid as that stock sells through.

Do I need to secure retail funding against assets?

Not necessarily. Much retail working capital is unsecured (a director's personal guarantee may apply), and we always make any security requirement clear up front.
