In consumer goods, timing is everything—whether you’re securing shelf space, launching a new product, or gearing up for seasonal spike in demand.

Our financing solutions are built to align with your supply chain, sales cycle, and growth goals—helping you stay ahead of orders, manage inventory with confidence, and scale without cash flow holding you back.

Fueling retail expansion and high-volume orders with scalable working capital

OVERVIEW

A fast-growing Plant-Based Beverage Brand secured major shelf space with a national grocery chain and needed capital to ramp up production and fulfill large retail orders.

CHALLENGE

Despite strong consumer demand and an established retail presence, the brand’s existing line of credit wasn’t sufficient to support the rapid increase in production volume and delivery timelines required by national retailers.

SOLUTION

eCapital evaluated the company’s accounts receivable and inventory position to structure a $12 million asset-based facility. This solution enabled the brand to meet order deadlines, expand its distribution network, and maintain momentum with its retail partners—without giving up equity.

Frequently asked questions
about financing for consumer brands

What is consumer goods financing?

Consumer goods financing provides businesses with working capital to support production, inventory management, distribution, and growth. It helps bridge cash flow gaps caused by long manufacturing lead times, retail payment cycles, and seasonal demand fluctuations.

Who is eligible for consumer goods financing?

We work with manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands across categories like apparel, beauty, food & beverage, home goods, electronics, and more.

How is this different from a traditional business loan?

Unlike traditional loans, consumer goods financing is typically asset-based—leveraging inventory, purchase orders, or accounts receivable as collateral. It offers more flexibility and scales with your business.

What can I use the financing for?

You can use the funds to:

  • Purchase raw materials or inventory

  • Fund production runs

  • Bridge PO and invoice payment gaps

  • Cover logistics and warehousing costs

  • Launch into new retail channels

  • Support seasonal spikes or rapid growth

Can this help me manage seasonality?

Yes. Financing can help smooth cash flow during off-peak months and ensure you’re well-positioned for high-volume sales periods.

Will I need to give up equity?

No. Most consumer goods financing options are non-dilutive, meaning you retain full ownership and control of your business.

Will financing affect my retail or wholesale relationships?

No. Many solutions operate behind the scenes, allowing you to maintain direct relationships with your retailers, distributors, or customers.

Can financing help me scale into big-box retailers or national distribution?

Yes. Strategic financing gives you the working capital needed to scale production, manage logistics, and meet compliance requirements for major retailers.
