Brewery equipment can be expensive and to keep on top of expanding consumer tastes, brewers must continually modernise to stay ahead of the competition. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/na\/business-loans\/asset-finance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asset finance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can take the sting out of buying big-ticket plant and machinery. Buy over time and use the equipment as you pay for the equipment. The asset acts as security for the loan. In many cases, there is no need to provide extra collateral.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Commercial mortgages<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brewers who wish to buy an existing brewery or build new facilities will typically need finance for the transaction. Unlike residential home loans, where one size often fits all, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">commercial mortgages<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are tailored to the unique demands and business of the borrower. Borrow up to 90% of the LTV (loan to value \u2013 a comparison of the size of the loan against the value of the property) and repay over 1 \u2013 30 years. The property acts as security for the mortgage. In most cases, there is no need to provide extra collateral.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Start a brewery<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Namibia has seen explosive growth in the number of breweries over the past five years. Despite the pandemic, there are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many more breweries<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> today as there were in 2018, and the craft beer segment is growing fastest of all.

Refurbish, extend, expand your current production facilities. Borrow up to 90% of the project cost. Repay over 1 \u2013 30 years. The property acts as security. In most cases there is no need to provide extra collateral.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Franchising<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying into a successful brewery franchise can be a good idea \u2013 you become part of a well-known brand, enjoy centralised marketing support, and have easy access to products and equipment. However, joining a major franchise group can be costly, and few franchisors offer funding to soften the financial blow. An independent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/na\/business-loans\/franchise-finance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">franchise loan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can solve this problem. Borrow anywhere from&nbsp;<\/span>N$<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1,000 to&nbsp;<\/span>N$<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5million. Repay over months or years. Additional security may be required.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Working capital<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hospitality trade can be very seasonal \u2013 with sales of beer rising and falling throughout the year as events like Christmas turbo-charge consumption. Unfortunately, erratic sales can cause cashflow headaches for brewers, as customers reduce orders, but overhead costs remain the same. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/na\/business-loans\/working-capital-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working capital loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be used to cover everyday expenses \u2013 wages, utility bills, the cost of raw ingredients and more.
