Financing for Liquor Stores
Liquor store owners have unique needs to keep pace with the big box competitors crowding out the industry. For this reason, ARF Financial has created loan products specifically for liquor stores to serve their financial needs and remain competitive. While the industry has continued to be successful throughout the pandemic, quick access to capital remains key to overcoming short-term cash flow gaps or seizing long-term growth opportunities. When it comes to liquor store financing, our team of professional loan consultants can provide the trusted guidance you deserve to keep your store profitable and moving forward.
Our focus is getting you the working capital you need when you need it, without the hassles and long wait of a traditional bank. Confidently approach suppliers for best volume pricing when you have the funds available to make it happen. We will stick with you for the long haul, ensuring you can capitalize on new opportunities as they develop. Here are some common ways to put our liquor store financing to work in your business:
What Makes ARF Financial Different?
Since 2001, we have helped thousands of liquor store owners secure over a billion dollars in loan proceeds! The financing we provide is a true bank loan not a merchant cash advance, which means rates are lower, payments are fixed, terms are longer and the interest you pay is tax deductible. Through our exclusive relationships with community banks across the country, you can obtain the funds you need quickly with limited paperwork. It’s our job to understand your business goals, financing needs, and then customize a loan to meet those needs. You’ll receive the funds quickly, with fixed terms and affordable payments that won’t increase as revenue grows – maximizing your return on investment without sacrificing your cash flow.
Size Matters!
Larger Loan Amounts, Longer Terms & Big Rewards
You can now borrow up to $1,000,000 with terms up to 36 months to fund your big projects while keeping your costs low. Our average loan amount is over six times larger and repayment terms are more than three times longer than a Merchant Cash Advance. Larger loan amounts mean you can invest in growth opportunities that will make a significant impact to your bottom line, and longer terms mean your payments are manageable and won’t interfere with your cash flow!
