What is E-commerce financing?
Merchant Cash Advance
A merchant cash advance gives e-commerce businesses a lump sum of cash upfront, which is repaid by taking a fixed percentage of the business’s future sales. This form of financing is fast and flexible, making it useful for businesses needing immediate funds, and approval is often based on sales history rather than credit score. However, it usually comes with higher fees than traditional loans.
Invoice Financing
Invoice financing lets e-commerce businesses get cash quickly by using their outstanding customer invoices as collateral. Lenders provide money based on the value of unpaid invoices, helping businesses smooth out their cash flow and access funds before customers pay.
Inventory Financing
Inventory financing provides a loan based on the value of a business’s unsold stock. The inventory acts as collateral, allowing businesses to buy or produce more products—especially useful for seasonal businesses that need to stock up ahead of busy periods. The loan is then repaid as inventory is sold.
