Inventory, ad spend, and a fourth quarter that arrives all at once.
Retail and ecommerce run on pre-payment. Inventory is bought months before it sells, ad spend is paid before the attributed revenue lands, and marketplace payouts arrive on the platform's schedule. A line of credit smooths those timing gaps so a strong quarter does not depend on a healthy cash balance in week one.
Where the pressure shows up
Pre-season inventory
The stock that carries the biggest selling months is ordered and paid for well before those months arrive.
Marketing ahead of revenue
Ad spend, creative, and influencer commitments are paid up front while the resulting sales settle later.
Payout timing
Marketplace and processor payouts can lag sales by days or weeks, which tightens the account exactly when volume is highest.
How a line of credit helps
- Fund pre-season inventory without tying up the operating account.
- Cover ad spend during a launch or a peak period.
- Bridge the gap between a sale and the payout landing.
