Guides for funding a deal before it expires

These guides explain how product, retail, wholesale and dealer businesses fund time-limited opportunities: what funders typically review, which documents to prepare, how to judge whether a deal is worth borrowing for, and how to plan around supplier, auction and seasonal deadlines. Each one is written for the owner making the call, with honest trade-offs.

Where to start

If you have never funded a deal before, start with the process guides. They cover what funders typically review, the documents to gather and how long decisions usually take. Then read the guide for your type of deal, whether that is a closeout, a supplier discount, a large order, an auction or a seasonal buy.

Guides by type of opportunity

Deal guides walk through real buying situations: closeout and bulk inventory, early-payment discounts, large purchase orders, equipment auctions, a better retail location and pre-season or holiday stock. Each explains which funding options tend to fit, what to check before committing and when borrowing is the wrong move.

Frequently asked questions

Are these guides financial advice?

No. They are general education for business owners. Your costs, taxes and contracts are specific to you, so review offers carefully and talk with your accountant or attorney about tax, legal or lease questions before you commit. Offers always depend on your own business and situation.

Do the guides apply to every industry?

The process guides on qualifying, documents and timing apply to most businesses. The deal guides focus on businesses that buy inventory or equipment, such as retailers, online sellers, wholesalers, manufacturers and dealers, because their opportunities usually have firm deadlines. Service businesses can still use the process guides before they apply.

How do I apply after reading?
