Why liquor store owners call us

Generic lenders don't understand liquor stores. We work with nothing else.

  • COD distributor terms. Tied-house rules mean your suppliers can't float you, so you fund your own inventory. We size funding around that reality.
  • Q4 is make-or-break. We plan for the holiday inventory build-up, not after it.
  • Cash-heavy sales. We look at your bank deposits and real sales, not just a credit score.
  • Thin margins. Fixed payments you can plan around beat daily debits that eat your register.

Common questions

How fast can my liquor store get funded?
A specialist gets back to you the same business day you reach out. Once you send your 3 most recent business bank statements, approval can come the same day, and funding typically takes 3–7 business days. That's days, not the weeks or months a bank or SBA loan can take.
How much can my store qualify for?
Funding ranges from $5,000 to $1.5 million. Amounts can reach up to about a third of your store's annual gross sales, depending on your bank statements and credit. Our form gives you an estimate in about two minutes.
Will checking my options affect my credit?
No. Checking your pre-approval numbers doesn't affect your credit score.
What do I need to qualify?
You should own an operating store (open at least 30 days under your ownership), have about $17,000+ in monthly sales, a credit score around 575 or higher, and your last 3 months of business bank statements.
Is this a merchant cash advance?
No. These are business loans with fixed payments and a set term, so there are no daily debits that rise and fall with your sales.
Who funds the loans?
Loans are funded by our licensed lending partner, ARF Financial, LLC, in business since 2001 (California Finance Lender License No. 6037958). See our disclosures.
