We can help you with e-commerce cash flow pressures
Stock and inventory costs
E-commerce businesses often need to buy large quantities of stock upfront, especially before peak sales periods. When demand fluctuates, this can leave valuable cash tied up in unsold inventory. Flexible finance helps smooth seasonal spikes and maintain healthy working capital.
Platform and advertising expenses
Online sellers rely heavily on paid advertising, SEO, and platform fees to stay visible. These recurring costs can quickly reduce cash flow if sales dip. Short-term finance can help fund campaigns that drive traffic and maintain revenue consistency.
Payment delays and refund cycles
Even with strong sales, cash can be delayed through payment gateways, returns, or refund processes. These lags affect your ability to restock or invest in growth. Invoice or revenue based finance can help bridge those gaps by unlocking funds earlier.
Rapid scaling and fulfilment pressures
When business takes off, growth can create just as many cash flow challenges as slow periods. Increased orders mean higher shipping, packaging, and staffing costs. Access to quick funding ensures you can meet demand without overstretching your resources.
