What Commerce Fund Does
CommerceFund.com explains how commerce is funded — inventory loans, revenue-based financing, merchant cash advances, and trade credit — what each option costs and when each fits. Educational content, not financial advice.
Borrowing against stock you'll sell — how inventory loans work, and why lenders care about your sell-through rate.
Repayment as a percentage of sales — flexible in slow months, expensive in fast ones. The math both directions.
Fast money against future card sales, priced in factor rates — how to translate a factor rate into a real cost you can compare.
Net-30 and net-60 terms from suppliers are the oldest funding in commerce — free when managed, costly when stretched.
Slower and more paperwork, usually cheaper — where traditional credit fits and what approval actually depends on.
APR, factor rates, and fees put on one yardstick — a plain framework for comparing offers that price themselves differently.
How Commerce Fund Works
Inventory ahead of a season, a gap between paying suppliers and getting paid, or growth — the reason should pick the product.
Convert each option — loan, advance, revenue share — into total repayment and effective annual cost before comparing anything.
Model repayment against realistic sales, including a slow scenario — funding should bridge to revenue, not to the next loan.

No. This is educational information about how commerce funding products generally work — not professional or financial advice. Consult a qualified advisor or accountant before taking on any financing.
Speed and risk are priced in: approval is fast and unsecured, and the factor-rate pricing often works out to a much higher effective annual cost than it appears. Always convert to an annualized figure before comparing.
Often the least glamorous: supplier trade credit used within terms, then conventional credit lines. Cost generally rises with speed and falls with paperwork — educational rule of thumb, not advice.
