E-commerce business funding for Aurora-based operators finances inventory, ad spend and platform expansion for DTC brands, Amazon sellers, Shopify stores and marketplace sellers. We work with everything from first-generation DTC brands scaling past $1M to multi-brand groups running $10M+ across channels.
E-commerce is a different underwriting animal than brick-and-mortar. Lenders look at gross margin, MER/ROAS, refund rates, and platform performance more than tax returns. Revenue-based financing, inventory lines and SBA 7(a) all play a role — the right structure depends on your growth stage and margin profile.
Marquette matches e-commerce files to lenders who actually understand DTC — not banks that pattern-match to retail and misprice the risk.
“MCAs are the trap of e-commerce finance — they price off daily revenue and can suffocate a brand right when it's trying to scale. If you have MCA balances, refinancing them into a term facility is usually step one, not scaling ad spend.”
Yes — SBA 7(a) works for e-commerce operators with 2+ years of tax returns and a clear use of funds. Timeline is 45–75 days.
Purchase-order and inventory lines can fund in 5–10 business days once diligence is complete.
MCAs debit a fixed daily amount regardless of sales; true RBF debits a percent of daily deposits (so slow days don't crush you). RBF is almost always the better structure.
Yes — SBA and conventional bank financing both work for aggregators buying FBA brands, though we run heavy diligence on the brands being acquired.
Very hard on the debt side. Startup DTC pre-revenue is usually an equity conversation, not debt.
