Buy stock or
pay suppliers

Need to pay your supplier before you’ve sold anything? We can help you get money for stock now, then pay it back after the goods sell.

01 · Where you are

You have to pay
before you get paid.

Sound familiar?

A big order is dueYour supplier wants paying before the goods even ship.
You buy from overseasStock takes weeks to arrive, and the money is tied up the whole time.
Busy season is comingYou need extra stock now to be ready for the rush.
A supplier discountPaying early could get you a better price, if only you had the cash.

02 · When is the right time?

A loan isn’t always the answer.
Here’s when it makes sense.

✓ Good times to do it

You have orders waitingWhy: When customers are already lined up, the stock pays back quickly.
You buy stock over and overWhy: A setup you can use again and again makes each order easier.
Paying early saves you moneyWhy: If your supplier gives a discount for paying early, it can cover part of the cost.
Busy season is closeWhy: Having stock ready means you don’t miss sales when it counts.

✕ Maybe wait if…

You’re not sure it will sellWhy: Borrowing for stock that sits on the shelf can cost you.
It’s a small order you can coverWhy: Paying cash may be simpler for small amounts.
Your supplier gives you time to payWhy: If they already let you pay later, you may not need this.

Not sure which one you are? We’ll look at it with you, for free.
