// Industries — Ecommerce

Your ads work. Your cash cycle does not.

Ecommerce burns cash 90 days before it earns any: the PO, the freight, the 3PL receiving — then the platform pays out on rolling reserves. A revenue purchase funds the cycle so the flywheel never stalls. And speed is the point: clean file in, decision out, funds moving.

// The Squeeze

The ecommerce cash treadmill

01

Inventory cash leaves 90 days early

Factory deposit, balance before freight, customs, then two weeks of receiving. By the time the first unit sells, the cash has been gone a quarter.

02

Ad spend precedes the revenue it creates

The campaigns that fill next month's top line bill this week. Pause them when cash is tight and the algorithm forgets you — restarting costs more than continuity.

03

Platforms hold your own money

Rolling reserves, 14-day payout lags, arbitrary account reviews — marketplaces treat your revenue like their float, and they do not ask permission.

// Why Banks Pass

Why banks pass on online sellers

A bank cannot underwrite a business with no storefront, inventory in a 3PL it cannot inspect, and revenue flowing through platforms it does not understand. Two years of returns showing reinvestment losses seals the decline.

The cruel part: your dashboard shows better unit economics than most businesses the bank happily funds. Contribution margin, repeat rate, CAC payback — none of it fits their form.

// The Fit

Reads the dashboard, not the form

Ecommerce deposits are data-rich: platform payouts, processor settlements, subscription rebills. We read the blended rhythm, advance against it, and remit weekly — so a slow week after you throttle ads costs less, and a viral week settles the purchase faster.

The play is usually inventory: fund the bigger PO that unlocks the volume discount and keeps you in stock through the spike. Stockouts kill ranking and momentum; the purchase is cheaper than either. Fast. Fair. Funded. It is not a slogan; it is the operating manual.

// What You'd Use It For

Real numbers, real uses.

The ad ramp

$15,000 revenue purchase

Six to eight weeks of sustained spend into a proven funnel — the difference between testing and actually scaling.

The container order

$25,000 revenue purchase

Fund the PO and freight for the order that cuts unit cost 20% and covers Q4 depth. Volume discounts are funding's best friend.

SKU expansion + 3PL

$50,000 revenue purchase

Launch the adjacent line your customers keep asking for, with real inventory and the fulfillment setup to match.

// Questions

Questions? Straight answers.

Do you work with Amazon sellers?

Yes — marketplace payouts count like any other deposit. We read your blended revenue across Amazon, Shopify, wholesale, whatever hits the account.

What if my revenue spikes hard around Q4?

Spikes are fine — we underwrite the average and the trajectory. The weekly remittance is sized to your rhythm, so slow stretches automatically cost less.

Is this the same as inventory financing?

Close cousin, different structure. Inventory financing lends against stock; a revenue purchase advances against your future sales with no lien on the goods. You spend it on inventory anyway — that is what most sellers do.

// Get Funded

Let's move.

A $15,000, $25,000, or $50,000 revenue purchase — and those are floors, not ceilings. We fund more when the financials support it. Apply in four minutes; decision in 24–72 hours.
