Inventory is where café cash quietly disappears

Green or roasted beans, dairy and alt milks, syrups, lids, sleeves, pastry from your wholesale baker, retail bags for the holidays. None of it is glamorous, and all of it has to be paid for before a single latte rings up. Inventory funding for coffee shops gives you the cash to buy ahead, take a roaster's volume pricing, or stock a second location without leaving payroll short.

Situations where owners ask us for inventory money

How the amount gets set

We look mainly at your deposits and existing obligations, not a projection of how much inventory you might sell. For illustration only: a shop with steady card deposits and no other advances will usually see a different offer than a shop already paying down two products. Either way, the offer lays out the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept.

For stock you reorder often, a line of credit lets you draw for each order. For a single large buy, working capital or revenue-based financing is often simpler.

Getting started

The application takes about 5 minutes. Send roughly three months of business bank statements; no tax returns are required. We start with a soft credit pull, consider FICO scores from 500, and welcome sole proprietors. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours. Apply here when your supplier is ready to ship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use inventory funding for retail merchandise, not just ingredients?

Yes. Mugs, brewing gear, bagged coffee and gift items are common uses alongside beans, milk and packaging.

Do I need to show supplier invoices?

Invoices or quotes help you size the request, but the offer depends mainly on your bank deposits and current obligations, not on the paperwork from your supplier.

What if most of my sales are cash?

Funders look at what lands in your business account. If cash sales are deposited regularly, they show up in your statements and count.

How is this different from a merchant cash advance?

A merchant cash advance is one way to fund inventory, with repayment tied to sales. Working capital and lines of credit are others. We can show the options side by side.

Will checking my options affect my credit?

We start with a soft credit pull, so seeing what you might qualify for does not affect your score.

How much inventory should I finance at once?

Buy what you can realistically sell or use before it goes stale. Roasted coffee and dairy have short windows, while cups, lids and retail merchandise keep. Many owners finance packaging and retail stock in bigger batches and keep perishables on a tighter cycle, which makes the repayment schedule easier to carry through slower weeks.

Roaster bulk buy $32,000.00
Holiday retail $27,500.00
Cups and lids $25,000.00
