Wholesale & distribution

Buy the inventory before your customer is ready to pay.

Distributors routinely fund the gap between supplier terms and customer receivables. Working capital can keep orders moving without draining the cash needed to run the warehouse.

A confirmed order is not cash in the account.

Supplier deposits, inbound freight and warehouse labor are due before many buyers pay. Funding can help a distributor accept larger orders, buy at the right price and preserve service levels for established customers.

01

Place supplier deposits

Secure inventory and production slots before a customer order reaches its billing date.

02

Cover inbound freight

Pay ocean, ground or expedited freight costs without pulling from payroll reserves.

03

Build seasonal inventory

Stock the products buyers will need before the demand window opens.

04

Expand fulfillment capacity

Add racking, handling equipment or temporary labor for higher order volume.
