FAQs

Absolutely. Many retailers use short-term funding to bulk-order inventory ahead of Black Friday and Christmas. It’s a smart way to keep shelves stocked, avoid sell-outs, and repay the loan using the profits from peak-season sales.

Yes — and you should. The festive period is noisy and competitive. A quick injection of capital can help you launch TikTok ads, influencer campaigns, or special promotions to get ahead of competitors and drive traffic early.

Definitely. Whether you’re hiring in-store staff or warehouse packers, funding can cover short-term wages and training costs, so you’re fully staffed for the holiday demand surge without draining your cash flow.

That’s exactly what funding is for. Many businesses face cash flow gaps during the festive season, with high costs now and income later. A working capital loan or revolving credit line can help you stay liquid and confident.

Yes. If you need to rent more vans, pay drivers, or upgrade your fulfilment process, funding can help strengthen your delivery operations so you can meet expectations and avoid delays.

Yes, that’s the idea. Most festive funding is short-term. You borrow what you need to seize the opportunity, and repay once sales come in; whether that’s in December, January, or after your January sales clear stock.
