From deck and convection ovens to adding wholesale accounts, a commissary kitchen or catering vehicles, Rainstar Capital Group connects bakery owners and caterers with commercial financing built around holiday peaks, wedding season and wholesale account terms.
Bakeries and caterers start work in the early hours and depend on ovens, mixers and refrigeration to perform every day. Wholesale and catering accounts often pay on terms, while ingredients must be paid up front.
The right financing turns those pressures into opportunities. It lets bakery owners and caterers invest in deck and convection ovens, mixers, proofers, refrigeration, display cases and catering vans, keep flour, butter, sugar and specialty ingredients on hand and pursue growth such as adding wholesale accounts, a commissary kitchen or catering vehicles, without draining the cash that keeps daily operations running.
We work with retail bakeries, wholesale bakeries, caterers and event food services, and we structure every request around the realities of your cash cycle, from holiday peaks, wedding season and wholesale account terms to the equipment and space you need to grow.
Bakers and caterers start before sunrise, and we love backing that kind of work ethic. When wholesale accounts and corporate clients pay on net terms, our financing keeps flour, butter and payroll covered while you wait on the invoice.
