E-commerce & online sellers
Online sellers have strong sales data, fast stock turnover and big ad and inventory spend, so data-driven, flexible financing usually fits better than collateral-heavy loans.
Best-fit financing, in order
- 1
Revenue & cash-flow financing
Why: Repayment tied to sales suits ad-spend and inventory cycles; platforms may use your sales data to decide.
- 2
Peer-to-peer (P2P) financing
Why: Digital term loans for stock before peak campaigns such as 11.11 or festive seasons.
- 3
Grants & matching grants
Why: Digitalisation and export-focused programmes (for example from MDEC and MATRADE) can co-fund cross-border selling.
- 4
Equity crowdfunding (ECF)
Why: Brands with a loyal community can raise equity from customers who already believe in them.
