What it is
Retail Business Loans, explained in plain English
Retail business loans are financing programs structured around how retail actually operates: seasonal revenue swings, large inventory positions, build-out and FF&E costs, and the need to fund a busy season before it arrives. Common structures are inventory-supported lines of credit, seasonal working capital, MCAs against card sales, and SBA for acquisitions and real estate.
For Dallas-area retailers we'll structure the right mix: a line of credit for ongoing inventory cycles, working capital for seasonal pre-buys, and SBA when you're acquiring or expanding a brick-and-mortar concept.
Compass Lenders is not a lender. We're a Dallas-based advisory firm that places your file with the lender most likely to fund it on the best terms, and we get paid only when your deal closes.
