The holiday cash squeeze

Every holiday season runs the same way. You pay for inventory, extra staff, decorations and ads weeks before the register gets busy. For an established business doing $60K or more a month, that front-loaded spending can still drain the account right when you need cushion most.

Funding through our partner Merchant Fund Express is built for that timing problem. Amounts run from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and the review leans on your deposits rather than your credit score alone.

A working calendar

WhenWhat usually needs cash
September to OctoberInventory orders, supplier deposits, seasonal hiring
NovemberAd spend, extended hours, overtime
DecemberRestocking best sellers mid-season, payroll on bigger shifts
JanuaryReturns, slow traffic, catching up on bills

Apply early. If you wait until shelves are empty, you are funding a problem instead of a plan.

Matching the product to the season

For illustration: a gift shop

For illustration only, not our terms. A gift and home goods store deposits about $80K a month most of the year and roughly double that in December. Last year it ran out of its two best sellers by mid-month because it could only afford one order. This year the owner funds a larger October order and a mid-December restock, so the busiest weeks are spent selling, not apologizing for empty shelves.

Retail? See funding for retail. Restaurants hosting holiday parties can look at restaurant funding.

Don't overbuy

Holiday optimism is expensive. Fund what last year's numbers support plus a sensible margin, and plan for a soft January when repayment still comes due. Our slow-month cash flow page covers that side of the calendar.

Apply before the rush

About three months of business bank statements, no tax returns, and a soft credit pull to start. FICO 500+ is considered and sole proprietors can apply. The application takes 5 minutes, and for qualified businesses funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours. Credit repair is a separate service and is not needed to apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I apply for holiday funding?

Early, ideally before your big supplier orders are due. Waiting until December leaves less room to use the money well.

My statements show a slow summer. Is that a problem?

Seasonal swings are normal and get weighed in context. Consistent patterns year over year help.

Can I use holiday funding for seasonal staff?

Yes. Payroll for extra shifts is a common use of working capital.

What if sales come in under plan?

Repayment still applies. Revenue-based options that follow your sales can be easier to carry in a soft stretch, so size the amount conservatively.

Does a low credit score rule me out?

No. FICO 500+ is considered, and your deposits carry significant weight.

Seasonal staff $21,500.00
Gift displays $7,800.00
