Common questions
What grocery store expenses may business funding support?
Depending on the program and final agreement, potential uses may include eligible inventory, refrigeration, freezers, shelving, point-of-sale systems, store improvements, payroll, supplier payments or working capital.
Why do inventory turns, spoilage and shrink matter?
Sales alone do not show the cash produced by inventory. Providers may review how quickly categories sell, gross margins, waste, theft, markdowns, supplier credits and the amount of cash tied up in stock.
Can refrigeration or point-of-sale equipment be financed?
Potentially. Eligibility may depend on the equipment, vendor, installation, useful life, applicant profile, ownership or lease of the location and provider requirements.
