What’s the difference between inventory financing and invoice financing?
Inventory financing uses your existing stock as collateral to secure funding. Invoice financing, also known as accounts receivable financing, lets you access capital based on unpaid customer invoices. In invoice factoring, the lender may buy your receivables upfront and collect directly from your customer. Inventory financing, by contrast, helps you fund stock purchases before the sale.

What is it?
How stocked items become working capital
Inventory financing turns your stocked goods into working capital, using existing inventory as collateral. It gives you access to flexible funding you can use across the business.
Instead of letting products sit on shelves while your cash is tied up, you unlock its value and keep revenue flowing.
Not looking to leverage your inventory? LoanGIANT also offers funding solutions based on your cash flow—not your assets.
How does it work?
Turn your inventory into opportunity
Apply online – Submit a quick digital application, and we provide your funding options.
Review & approve terms – Compare competitive offers with expert support from our trusted business advisors.
Access your funds – Use your fresh capital to fuel growth without tying up cash.
Sell and repay – Repay as you move product, keeping cash flow healthy and operations smooth.
Here’s a real world example:
- You need to prepare for peak season but lack cash on hand.
- You receive financing based on the value of your inventory, which is usually 50% to 85% of its current value.
- You use the funds to cover payroll, marketing, or other critical business needs.
As products sell, you repay the financing over time, ensuring steady cash flow.
Capital is provided in two main formats: An inventory loan, which functions as a term loan, and an inventory line of credit, which mirrors a business line of credit.

Inventory financing benefits
- Free up cash flow – Fund your business without liquidating or waiting for sales.
- Stay stocked – Meet demand during peak seasons without falling behind.
- Leverage what you own – Approvals are based on inventory value, not just credit scores.
- Protect other assets – No need to tie up equipment or real estate.
Things to consider
- Loan-to-value limits – We finance 50%–85% of inventory value.
- Carrying costs – Long turnover times may increase borrowing costs.
- Asset risk – If repayment isn’t met, your collateral can be seized to cover the outstanding balance.

Can I get a loan on inventory?
Yes. You can use physical inventory—finished goods, raw materials, or WIP—as collateral. Most lenders exclude perishables or obsolete stock. If you’re looking to fund orders based on future revenue rather than existing inventory, purchase order financing may be a better fit.
How much does inventory financing cost?
The cost varies depending on the lender, your inventory’s value, and your business profile. Interest rates typically range from 7% to 20% for inventory lines of credit. You may also see fees such as origination charges or collateral evaluations. Always review your lender’s terms to understand the full cost of capital.

Is inventory financing right for my business?
It depends on your sales cycle and inventory turnover. If you sell high-demand products and need upfront capital to maintain inventory levels, this financing can help you scale without straining your cash flow. However, if you carry slow-moving inventory, or have limited ability to repay quickly, it may be worth exploring alternative inventory funding solutions.
