Managing cash flow to maintain optimum stock levels to meet customer demand can be a challenge. Finding the funds to purchase goods to be sold well ahead of the time the business will receive income from the sale of those goods can be a major issue for many businesses. Where the goods are sourced from international suppliers, the timeframe can be a significant consideration.
As specialists in commercial lending, we work with individual business operators to assist with their inventory management by sourcing and structuring cost-effective inventory finance. Workable, affordable funding through a range of credit facilities, to ease pressure on cash flow, and to allow the business to operate successfully and profitably. We source the most competitive inventory loan interest rates to minimise repayments, minimise purchase costs and allow operators to maintain competitive pricing for their customers.
Loans for inventory are available for businesses across all industry sectors and may be used to purchase finished goods ready for sale, or for supplies and materials required to produce goods. Every application for inventory financing is handled by our expert brokers on an individual basis. Speak with us about your specific requirements.
As specialists in commercial lending, we provide a range of inventory funding credit facilities to suit individual business requirements. The most widely used type of inventory loan is a line of credit or overdraft. With a line of credit, we liaise with our lender to pay the supplier invoice and the funds are repaid over the agreed loan term. Alternatively, the funds are made available to the business to finalise payment with their supplier.

Lines of credit can be secured over a set timeframe or as an ongoing or revolving credit facility. Overdrafts and lines of credit can allow businesses to pay down the loan over a timeframe that suits their cash flow. With inventory finance, that timeframe may be negotiated to be after receipt for the sales of the goods or be an unspecified term.
With overdrafts and lines of credit, interest is typically charged only the funds utilised. The interest rate may be fixed or variable with interest applied monthly based on the funds used and balance. This type of funding can provide a flexible credit facility for acquiring the products and materials required.
Businesses that sell the same goods repeatedly, may need to continually re-stock to maintain appropriate inventory levels. An ongoing line of credit may meet that need.
For some businesses, a Secured Business Loan may be a more suitable inventory financing option. When arranging this type of credit facility, we secure the most competitive fixed interest rates and most workable fixed terms. A fixed repayment schedule is arranged to provide certainty for the business owner. Inventory finance allows the products being acquired to be used as collateral for the credit.
