Inventory Funding 

Turn your stock into a strategic asset. Inventory funding helps you unlock working capital, improve cash flow, and fund growth without tying up your resources. It’s a flexible solution for sponsor-backed businesses in inventory-heavy sectors. 

For companies with significant inventory—whether raw materials, finished goods, or work-in-progress—managing cash flow and funding growth can be a constant balancing act. Traditional lending often undervalues inventory or imposes rigid terms that don’t reflect its true worth or seasonal fluctuations. This can restrict your ability to invest in growth, manage supplier relationships, or respond to market opportunities.

Inventory based financing offers a solution that recognises the value embedded in your stock, providing flexible, scalable solutions that adapt to your business needs and inventory cycles. Navigating inventory valuations, lender requirements, and structuring options requires expertise to ensure the funding supports your operational and strategic goals without unnecessary constraints.  

Is Inventory Funding Right for You?


  • You carry significant inventory—raw materials, finished goods, or work-in-progress
  • Your business needs funding that adjusts to inventory turnover and seasonality
  • Cash flow optimisation is a priority
  • You need capital for stock build-ups or supplier management
  • You want scalable funding aligned with your inventory cycles

Understanding Inventory Funding

Inventory funding is a form of debt finance secured against your stock. It provides working capital to fund growth, manage supplier relationships, and respond to seasonal demand. Designed for mid-market businesses with predictable stock cycles, it complements equity funding and helps businesses in retail, manufacturing, and distribution unlock liquidity from their inventory.

Why Work With Fuse Capital?

Inventory funding, while offering flexibility and scale, involves complex structuring and valuation challenges that can significantly impact your financing outcomes. Key terms such as inventory eligibility, valuation methods, advance rates, and covenant packages require careful negotiation to align with your growth plans and risk appetite. Identifying and accessing the right inventory financing lenders and lenders with appetite for your specific inventory profile is a critical challenge. 

Crafting a strategic, compelling pitch to lenders is essential to secure optimal terms and ensure funding certainty. When used strategically, inventory based financing can accelerate growth, optimise cash flow, and provide financial agility tailored to your unique inventory profile. However, missteps in structuring or lender selection can lead to suboptimal terms or funding delays.
