Inventory Loan
An inventory loan is secured by goods held for sale, helping businesses finance stock purchases or seasonal inventory needs.
Working capital and invoice financing bridge operating cash gaps through general cash flow, inventory, receivables, or securities-backed credit.
Working capital financing supplies cash while a business buys inventory, delivers goods or services, and waits to collect customers. The facility should be matched to the operating cycle and an identifiable repayment source rather than used indefinitely to cover an unresolved operating loss.
| Term | Primary funding and repayment logic |
|---|---|
| Working Capital Loan | Funds operating needs and is repaid from asset conversion or recurring business cash flow. |
| Inventory Loan | Advances against eligible goods, with repayment expected as inventory is sold and cash is collected. |
| Invoice Financing | Converts eligible receivables into earlier cash through borrowing or a receivable sale structure. |
| Peer-to-Peer Lending | Uses an online marketplace to connect borrowers with investor or institutional funding through one of several legal structures. |
| Non-Purpose Loan | Securities-backed credit whose proceeds are not used to buy, carry, or trade securities. |
Review the cash conversion cycle, peak borrowing need, draw and repayment mechanics, commitment and maturity, advance rates, ineligible collateral, reserves, reporting frequency, covenants, guarantees, and control over collections. A quoted limit may exceed actual availability when a borrowing base or covenant restricts draws.
