Funding for Retail
Retail is a working-capital-intensive business. Inventory must be purchased months before it sells, especially for seasonal merchandise. New stores require significant buildout costs. Online retailers need to fund inventory, fulfillment, and marketing simultaneously.
FundFi helps retailers access financing structured around their cash flow cycles. Lines of credit handle seasonal inventory swings. Term loans fund renovations and new locations. Short-term loans cover urgent inventory opportunities. SBA loans support major expansion plans.
