From draft systems to remodeling, adding a patio or kitchen, or buying a liquor license, Rainstar Capital Group connects bar and tavern owners with commercial financing built around weekend peaks, sports seasons and holiday rushes.
Bars and taverns earn most of their revenue in a handful of busy nights each week. Liquor inventory is a large and constant expense, and liquor licenses and remodels can require significant capital. Between weekend peaks, sports seasons and holiday rushes and the cost of bar equipment, bar and tavern owners need capital that fits the way their business actually works, not a one-size-fits-all loan.
The right financing turns those pressures into opportunities. It lets bar and tavern owners invest in draft systems, coolers, ice machines, bar build-outs, AV systems and POS, keep beer, wine and spirits on hand and pursue growth such as remodeling, adding a patio or kitchen, or buying a liquor license, without draining the cash that keeps daily operations running.
We work with neighborhood bars, taverns, sports bars, pubs and cocktail lounges, and we structure every request around the realities of your cash cycle, from weekend peaks, sports seasons and holiday rushes to the equipment and space you need to grow.
We love financing neighborhood bars because they're where communities gather. Whether it's a new draft system, a patio build-out or a liquor license transfer, our capital helps owners invest without draining what they need for the next delivery from the distributor.
