What is Inventory Financing?
Inventory financing provides capital specifically for purchasing inventory and stock. This type of financing allows businesses to maintain adequate inventory levels, take advantage of bulk purchase discounts, and meet seasonal demand without depleting working capital.
The inventory itself serves as collateral, making it easier to qualify for than unsecured loans. This financing solution is particularly valuable for businesses with seasonal fluctuations or those looking to expand their product offerings.
