Warehousing and fulfillment financing — stay stocked and staffed before the volume hits
Loot offers warehousing and fulfillment services an unsecured business line of credit from $5,000 to $100,000. Use it to cover seasonal staffing, facility costs, and packaging supplies, or give your business the room to onboard a new client's shipping volume before that client's first payment arrives. Established warehousing and fulfillment businesses with 1+ year in business and $200K+ in annual revenue can check their options with a soft pull. Requests up to $30K get an instant decision, while larger requests may take a few more minutes.


Warehousing and fulfillment challenges: staffing up and stocking supplies before volume turns into revenue
Warehousing and fulfillment operators pay for facility space, staffing, and packaging supplies up front, often weeks before a new client's shipping volume ramps up or a holiday season surge actually ships. That gap between gearing up and getting paid can strain cash flow right when a business needs it least — during its busiest stretch.

Where a warehousing and fulfillment line of credit does the heavy lifting
Six moments when fulfillment cash flow needs backup — and how a Loot line of credit can help.
Staff up for holiday and peak-season demand
Holiday season and other peak shopping periods can mean bringing on seasonal pickers, packers, and shipping staff weeks before that volume actually ships and gets billed. A line of credit can help cover payroll for the ramp-up without waiting on the season's invoices to clear.
Stock packaging and shipping supplies ahead of a surge
Boxes, mailers, tape, and labels need to be on hand before an order surge hits, not after. A line of credit can help a fulfillment operation stock up ahead of a busy stretch so it isn't caught short mid-surge.
Onboard a new client's fulfillment volume
Winning a new e-commerce or retail client can mean a jump in storage, staffing, and shipping needs before that client's first invoice is paid. A line of credit can give a fulfillment business the working capital to onboard the volume without falling behind.
Cover facility lease, utilities, and racking costs
Warehouse lease payments, utilities, and racking or shelving upgrades are ongoing costs that don't pause between client shipments. A line of credit can help keep the facility running while client volume ramps up.
Maintain and repair material-handling equipment
A forklift, conveyor, or sorting system going down can slow an entire fulfillment operation. A line of credit can help cover a repair or a rental replacement so orders keep moving.
Bridge client payment cycles
Fulfillment clients often pay on their own invoicing cycle, sometimes 30 days or more after volume ships. A line of credit can help cover facility and staffing costs in the meantime.

How a Loot line of credit works for a warehousing and fulfillment business
Say your fulfillment center needs $30,000 to bring on seasonal staff and stock packaging supplies ahead of the holiday shipping surge, weeks before that volume converts to revenue. With Loot, you can draw $30,000 from your approved line.
Before you confirm, you choose a fixed weekly repayment plan upfront, such as 16, 20, or 24 weeks. You see the total cost before you move forward.
If client volume ramps up faster than expected and you pay the draw off early, there is no prepayment penalty. Paying off early can save up to 50% of remaining fees.
As you repay, your line revolves — the funds become available again as you pay down the draw. Same-day approval is standard, decisions happen in minutes, and once approved, same-day funding is available for a $49 transfer fee.
