Answer

How do wholesalers fund buying in bulk to sell on?

Wholesaling means buying big and selling on credit, so cash is locked in stock and debtors at once; a working-capital facility funds both ends of that cycle.

Double the cash strain

Wholesalers pay suppliers for bulk stock and then sell to trade customers on credit. Cash is tied up in inventory and in unpaid invoices at the same time — a wide working-capital cycle.

Fund the whole cycle

A working-capital facility covers the bulk stock buy, while invoice finance releases cash from trade-customer invoices. Together they keep the wheel turning.

Keep stock moving

Slow stock is trapped cash. Match purchasing to real demand and use finance to fund the fast lines, not to prop up inventory that isn't selling.

Frequently asked questions

Can I finance both stock and unpaid invoices?

Yes. A working-capital facility funds the bulk stock purchase and invoice finance releases cash from trade invoices — covering both ends of the wholesaling cycle.

Why is wholesaling so cash-hungry?

Because you pay for large volumes up front and then sell on credit, so cash is simultaneously locked in stock and in debtors. Finance bridges both to keep trading.
