Inventory Financing: Everything Retailers Need to Know

​Financing plays an important role in inventory planning, supplier relationships, seasonal purchasing, and other aspects of a retail business.

In this RetailWire podcast series, Chase Binnie sits down with Lee Haskin, CEO of Crossroads Financial, to discuss the lending options available to retailers and e-commerce brands.

Across five episodes, the conversations explore inventory valuation, borrowing capacity, Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs), seasonality, supplier relationships, and the factors that influence how businesses access capital.

The series also examines how inventory is valued and how factors such as product category, sales history, demand patterns, and seasonality can influence lending considerations.
