SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS
Conquer cash flow issues in your seasonal business
Your revenue may fluctuate, but your access to capital shouldn’t. We help you stay funded through every season.
Many businesses deal with seasonal sales cycles, which can be challenging for any leader to manage. Seasonal businesses often see a rapid influx of sales and income during one or more defined periods of the year, only to see sharp decreases once a selling season has ended.
Maximizing working capital during seasonal fluctuations allows a business to adjust its operations as per the changes in demand. It can increase or decrease production, hire temporary staff, or invest in marketing, all in response to seasonal trends.

Seasonal credit is a flexible credit arrangement that allows a business to pay its expenses consistently despite extreme fluctuations in revenue from month to month. Seasonal credit is usually approved as a line of credit and is later classified as revolving credit.
Seasonal business funding is a type of business financing designed for companies that deal with seasonal fluctuations in cash flow and working capital.
Seasonal variable working capital refers to the amount of working capital a business needs to make it through its peak season successfully. This is usually calculated and analyzed in relation to the fixed working capital the business relies on for everyday operations.
Seasonal businesses face fluctuating demand throughout the year due to weather, holidays, or tourism. They often rely on peak-season surges to sustain themselves throughout the rest of the year. Adding seasonal business financing as a strategic financial tool can help:
Smooths out cash flow fluctuations
Allows you to prepare inventory or hire staff before peak periods
Prevents missed opportunities during busy seasons
Reduces reliance on high-cost emergency funding
Repayment is often designed to align with your cash flow—lighter during off-seasons and heavier when revenue increases.
