The restocking squeeze

A strong sales period is a good problem — until you need to restock and find the cash is tied up in receivables you have not yet collected. If you cannot restock in time, you miss the next wave of demand. Short-term finance bridges the gap between selling through and being paid, letting you refill the shelves and keep the momentum. It is a classic, healthy working-capital need. See which finance to buy stock.

The routes

Route	Best for
Short-term loan	A defined restock, repaid as receivables land
Revolving line	Recurring restock cycles
Invoice finance	If receivables are B2B invoices

A short-term loan funds a defined restock, repaid as your receivables come in. A revolving line suits a business that restocks in cycles. Invoice finance helps if the tied-up cash is in B2B invoices. Time repayment to when the earlier sales actually pay.

Keep the cycle turning

The goal is a smooth cycle: sell, restock, sell again, without a cash-starved gap that stalls momentum. A revolving line arranged in advance lets each restock happen on time regardless of when receivables land. Model the cycle with the cash conversion cycle calculator.
