Funding to keep the ovens on.

Bakeries are equipment- and ingredient-heavy: ovens, mixers, and proofers are serious capital, perishable ingredients are bought ahead, and wholesale orders often ship before the invoice gets paid. We fund on your sales so production never has to stop.

The landscape

Why bakeries run tight on cash.

Baking is capital-intensive in two directions at once: the equipment (ovens, mixers, proofers, refrigeration) is expensive, and the ingredients are perishable and bought ahead of the sales they'll produce. Add wholesale accounts that pay on net terms, and a profitable bakery can still be cash-tight.

Revenue-based funding reads your retail and wholesale sales, so you can replace an oven, take a big order, or staff up for the holidays, and repay as the product moves.

Questions

Bakeries funding FAQ.

Still have a question? A specialist can usually answer the same business day.

Start a review
Do you fund retail bakeries and wholesale operations?
Both. Whether you sell over the counter, supply cafes and grocers, or do both, what matters is steady sales and time in business.
Can funding cover a big wholesale order's ingredients?
Yes, that gap between buying ingredients and getting paid is a common reason bakeries come to us. A line of credit or advance bridges it.
Is funding available for ovens and equipment?
Absolutely. Equipment is one of the most common uses, along with ingredients, build-outs, and seasonal ramp-ups.
What can bakery funding be used for?
Equipment, ingredients, packaging, build-outs, delivery vehicles, payroll, or bridging wholesale terms. No restriction on use of funds.
How fast can I get funded?
A merchant cash advance can fund in as little as 24 hours once your sales are reviewed, fast enough to replace an oven and keep baking.
Do you work with dessert shops and cottage bakeries?
Yes. If you bake and sell with steady revenue, there is usually a path worth exploring.
