Why a hardware store seeks financing
Hardware stores carry high inventory costs and face seasonal buying spikes. Cash flow can tighten when you need to stock up for spring or hurricane season. Financing gives you working capital to buy what you need when you need it.
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 hardware store might use for:
- Bulk inventory purchases for high demand seasons
- Upgrading shelving, displays, and store layout
- Adding delivery vehicles or expanding delivery routes
- Investing in point of sale and inventory management software
- Renovating or expanding your retail floor
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 hardware store 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.
