From packaging equipment to scaling corporate gifting or online sales, Rainstar Capital Group connects gift basket business owners with commercial financing built around a holiday-heavy calendar and corporate orders.
Gift basket businesses earn much of their revenue in the fourth quarter. Corporate orders can be large and require inventory, packaging and labor up front. Between a holiday-heavy calendar and corporate orders and the cost of packaging equipment, gift basket business 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 gift basket business owners invest in packaging equipment, shrink-wrap systems, shelving and e-commerce systems, keep gourmet foods, wine, baskets and packaging on hand and pursue growth such as scaling corporate gifting or online sales, without draining the cash that keeps daily operations running.
We work with gift basket retailers, corporate gifting companies and online gift shops, and we structure every request around the realities of your cash cycle, from a holiday-heavy calendar and corporate orders to the equipment and space you need to grow.
Gift basket businesses make the fourth quarter happen for a lot of companies, and we love being part of that. We finance the gourmet inventory and packaging ahead of the holiday crunch so you can accept every corporate order that comes in.
