All you need to know about eBay seller finance – Working capital on your terms

Studies suggest that 60% of businesses fail within three years of their launch.

This failure can result from poor cash flow management, lack of strategy, or intense competition. However, a major cause of failure is that nearly 1 in 3 small businesses simply run out of cash.

When we talk about online sellers, specifically eBay sellers, there is a strong need for solid finance to create products, fund stock acquisition, and launch marketing campaigns. 

Many eBay business owners will turn towards getting a loan from a financial institution. This may seem like a simple process, but most banks have strict criteria for approving loans, and eBay sellers need a quick response to avoid bottlenecks in their business.

If time and speed are your primary concern, Bloom can provide you with capital funding of up to £5 million within 24 hours of applying.

In addition, qualified eBay business sellers can also take advantage of a repayment plan that links repayments to revenue. That is why eBay loans can be a viable solution for your business, and Bloom offers you the best revenue-based financing for eCommerce.

Who is eBay seller working capital finance for?

If you're and eBay business seller and you opt for revenue-based funding, your repayments will only become due once you cash in on the items you've sold. This is an excellent option for eBay business sellers who need cash to fuel their business processes.

As an eBay seller, you will constantly be looking for discounts on high-volume orders. The more you can order, the better the terms you will be able to command and the greater the profit you will make on each sale. You'd probably need to spread your own resources quite thin to be able to benefit from these large-volume deals while waiting for your revenue to come in from customer orders, but eBay capital finance eliminates these kinds of bottlenecks.

What can eBay working capital seller finance be used for?

Bloom offers businesses a simple solution called revenue-based financing, making it possible for eBay-based enterprises to fund their day-to-day operations and make repayments based on revenue.  With eBay seller capital, you will be able to afford some of these expenses:

Fund your supply chain

eBay seller capital enables businesses to negotiate on their personalised terms with suppliers and partners. It allows eligible sellers to improve the profit margins of their business.        

Introduce new products and collections to your store

For small businesses to grow and attract more customers, they need to introduce variety in their products. Owners need considerable capital to introduce a new product range to their customers.        

Spend more on ad campaigns

An ad campaign can help you increase sales. However, a successful ad campaign often requires a big upfront investment. eBay seller capital powered by Bloom can allow you to spend on your marketing activities and bring your product in front of your customers.

Hire more staff

Hiring top talent can often be costly. Facilitating financing can be used to cover recruitment costs to hire the top talent for your business.

Keep up to date on VAT payments

Most UK businesses fail to recognise the significant expense of end-of-year tax and VAT payments. Financing options allow you to make these payments without impacting your operational cash flows.

Support continued growth

eBay sellers want to grow their business which results in increased expenses. One of the biggest expenses that eBay sellers face when growing their business is increasing stock levels and coverage. Revenue-based finance helps fulfil all these costs, boosting your profits.
