Why a breweries and taproom seeks financing
Breweries and taprooms face lumpy cash flow tied to production cycles, seasonal demand, and taproom traffic. Many owners seek capital to bridge gaps between brewing runs, fund new tank capacity, or launch distribution without straining working capital.
We are a broker, not a lender, so we match that need to a lender that understands the industry instead of forcing one product.
Common uses of capital
Business-purpose funding a breweries and taproom might use for:
- Purchase or upgrade fermentation tanks and kegging lines
- Expand taproom seating or outdoor service areas
- Cover ingredient inventory ahead of seasonal brews
- Fund canning or packaging equipment for retail distribution
- Refinance existing equipment or build-out notes
Products that tend to fit
Depending on the situation, that can be a term loan, a line of credit, equipment financing, an SBA loan or invoice factoring.
Equipment Financing
Equipment financing funds trucks, machinery, kitchen gear and other hard assets, usually with the equipment itself as collateral.
SBA Loans
SBA loans are bank loans partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, often used for larger or longer-term needs.
Business Line of Credit
A business line of credit is a revolving limit a business can draw on, repay and draw again as working capital needs move.
Honest about terms
Rates and terms for a breweries and taproom are set by the lender and depend on revenue, time in business and credit. We do not promise a rate, an amount or approval, and we label any sample figure as an estimate.
