A leading wholesale distributor of consumer packaged goods needs additional liquidity to build stock ahead of seasonal peaks and ensure timely delivery to national retailers.
Despite strong sales growth, cash flow is under pressure due to extended retailer payment terms. Inventory has to be purchased months in advance, leaving the business exposed to funding gaps during its busiest periods.
eCapital structures a flexible invoice finance facility that unlocked working capital tied up in receivables. This gives the distributor the headroom to secure inventory, meet demand spikes without disruption, and continue building long-term retailer relationships.
A fast-growing consumer goods wholesaler is expanding its product range and onboarding several large retail customers, driving record sales volumes.
Growth brings higher costs: larger orders from overseas suppliers, increased logistics, and extended payment terms from major retailers. Traditional bank facilities have capped out, leaving the business short of the funding required to match demand.
eCapital provides an invoice finance facility, secured against receivables and inventory. This releases the working capital needed to manage supplier costs, fulfil larger orders, and continue scaling without interruption.
A household consumer goods brand wants to invest heavily in developing a new product line to stay ahead of changing consumer trends.
Significant investment is required upfront for R&D, packaging, and marketing, but the returns are not realised until well after launch. Traditional funding sources are reluctant to support the brand without immediate revenue to back the spend.
eCapital designs a facility that leveraged the company’s receivables and stock to free up liquidity. This allows the business to fund its innovation pipeline, bring new products to market quickly, and maintain its competitive edge.
A national wholesaler supplying consumer goods to major retailers experiences sudden cash flow strain when its bank reduced credit availability.

Funding for wholesale businesses refers to funding solutions designed specifically for businesses that purchase, distribute, and supply goods in bulk to retailers or other businesses. The sector often faces challenges such as extended customer payment terms, seasonal demand shifts, and the need to commit significant capital to stock long before sales are realised.
Rather than relying solely on cash reserves or restrictive bank facilities, wholesalers can access flexible solutions such as invoice and cash flow finance or Bad Debt Protection. These facilities release the cash tied up in receivables, inventory, or other assets, giving businesses the working capital needed to manage operations and pursue growth opportunities.
With eCapital, wholesale financing is bespoke to the unique pressures of distribution and supply, ensuring liquidity is available when it matters most.
Wholesalers face challenges that differ from many other industries. Customers often expect extended payment terms of 60–120 days, while suppliers and manufacturers must be paid upfront for goods, shipping, and logistics. This timing gap puts significant strain on working capital.
Seasonal surges can intensify the pressure, with large stock purchases required well before revenue is received.
Without flexible financing, wholesalers risk turning down major contracts, struggling to meet fulfilment deadlines, or being unable to maintain stock levels. Bespoke financing bridges this gap by aligning cash flow with the realities of wholesale, ensuring distributors can seize opportunities, keep supply chains moving, and stay competitive.
Options include but not limited to:
eCapital tailors these facilities to suit the needs of fast-moving consumer goods businesses, ensuring flexibility as sales cycles shift.
Strong relationships are essential in wholesale. Retailers expect distributors to deliver stock reliably and on time, while upstream suppliers need to be paid promptly to keep goods moving. Financing provides the liquidity to meet both expectations without compromise.
By unlocking cash flow, wholesalers can:
The result is greater trust on both sides of the supply chain, strengthening long-term, profitable partnerships.
The cost of wholesale financing varies depending on invoice volume, customer creditworthiness, and the type of facility chosen. Typically, fees include a small percentage of the invoice value plus a discount rate on the funds advanced.
While there is a cost, the return is substantial. Financing enables wholesalers to take on larger orders, manage seasonal peaks, and maintain strong supplier relationships without cash flow interruptions. For many businesses, the ability to meet retailer demand and keep supply chains moving far outweighs the fees.
eCapital offers transparent pricing with no hidden charges, ensuring facilities remain both cost-effective and sustainable.
