From bottling lines to adding routes, trucks, a bottling line or new brands, Rainstar Capital Group connects beverage bottlers and distributors with commercial financing built around route-based sales and retailer payment terms.
Bottlers and distributors move high volumes on thin margins. They need fleets, warehouses and inventory, and they extend credit to retailers and restaurants. Between route-based sales and retailer payment terms and the cost of bottling and fleet equipment, beverage bottlers and distributors 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 beverage bottlers and distributors invest in bottling lines, forklifts, warehouse racking and delivery trucks, keep raw materials, packaging and finished goods on hand and pursue growth such as adding routes, trucks, a bottling line or new brands, without draining the cash that keeps daily operations running.
We work with bottlers, beverage distributors, co-packers and wholesale distribution companies, and we structure every request around the realities of your cash cycle, from route-based sales and retailer payment terms to the equipment and space you need to grow.
Distributors and bottlers keep shelves stocked across entire regions, and we love supporting that logistics backbone. We finance trucks, forklifts and bottling lines and advance cash on retail accounts so every route runs on schedule.
