How funders read jewellery stores files

Jewellery retailers carry high-value inventory and earn a large share of the year in a few weeks.

The cash-flow rhythm

November and December dominate, with Valentine's Day and engagement season adding peaks.

Where the pressure usually shows up

What the money usually does

A revenue-share structure follows the seasonal pattern. A short advance suits holiday inventory repaid from the season.

A worked example

Illustrative arithmetic

A independent jewellery store depositing about $85,000 a month asks for $35,000 for holiday inventory. At a 1.23 factor the payback is $43,050, a cost of $8,050. Over roughly 7 months that is about $293 per business day, or close to 7% of monthly deposits.

  • Total payback: $35,000 × 1.23 = $43,050.
  • Cost: $8,050.
  • Payment: about $293 per business day, or 7% of monthly deposits.

Before you apply

Typical starting points

Monthly revenueTypically from around $20,000 a month in deposits for Canadian files. The exact line varies by funder and by file.
Time in businessTypically about 12 months. Newer businesses can be reviewed, but the options narrow.
Account healthLimited low-balance or negative days. Funders read the last few months of bank statements for this.
CreditScores from 500 are considered. A score of 600 or higher opens more options and better offers.
DocumentsA signed application and recent business bank statements, typically the last four months.
Existing advancesFiles with an existing advance can be reviewed, including second position.

A typical month, read the way a funder reads it

Most months in a jewellery store are calm, with repairs and custom work providing steady revenue. Then the holiday season can produce a quarter or more of annual sales. Inventory must be bought in September and October. A reviewer reads whether the account can carry that pre-season purchase and how strongly past seasons repaid it.

Canadian context

Canadian jewellers selling precious metals and stones also follow federal rules on certain high-value transactions. Those compliance steps do not change the deposit review, but they are part of the business's fixed obligations.

Questions a reviewer may ask

Having one-line answers ready, with the statements, is usually enough to move a file from questions to a decision.

Common questions

Is the December peak a problem?

No. It is expected, and the full year is read.

Can I fund holiday inventory?

Yes, sized to what the season usually sells.

Do repairs count?

Yes, as steady deposits.
