SBA Loans for Wholesale

Small Business Administration (SBA) loans for wholesale businesses could be a solution to grow your business to its full potential.

Securing funding, backed by the SBA, with accommodating terms can be the boost you need to grow!

At Business Funding Group (BFG), we have a decades-long track record of helping wholesale businesses specifically apply for, and secure SBA loans.

Why Get an SBA Loan?

SBA loans are backed by the government, making it less risky for lenders. The guarantee from SBA is particularly beneficial for businesses, such as wholesalers, because conventional lenders do not always like warehouse businesses.

Compared to the much harsher terms of merchant cash advance loans and the like, SBA loans have much more favorable terms!

The loans are paid back over a lengthy period of time, enabling businesses to use the cash conveniently without the stress of unaffordable payments. Depending on the type of loan, repayment periods can average between 10 and 30 years.

An SBA loan grants wholesale business owners a lot of flexibility when it comes to use of funds.

SBA loans are generally easier to qualify for than traditional business loans. Eligibility is broad, and the requirements are easier to meet.

How SBA Loans Help Wholesale Businesses

Financing business growth is especially important for wholesale business owners due to the nature of the business and the costs that come with it.

Wholesale businesses can utilize money from SBA loans for many different purposes, such as:

  • Bulk inventory: Secure higher profits margins while driving the per-unit cost down
  • Purchase a warehouse: Build equity and save on expensive storage and fulfilment costs
  • Marketing: Expand your customer base
  • Technology and innovation: Develop private labels, update your own website, and much more
  • Hiring employees
  • Shipping and distribution costs

To drive growth in a wholesale business, a business owner may use loan proceeds to purchase products in bulk. Purchasing inventory is typically the largest business expense, and not all business owners have the cash on hand to buy all they need to minimize pricing.

Keeping costs low is critical for wholesale businesses to maximize profit while maintaining a quality product.

An example would be a clothing brand that purchases products in bulk after receiving an SBA loan. Instead of paying $50/unit at market price, the business purchases at the bulk price of $30/unit. Cutting costs allows the business to decrease supply costs by 40%, increasing profit margins.
