Ecommerce businesses face funding friction that brick-and-mortar shops never see: rolling reserves on Stripe, delayed payouts from Amazon FBA, seasonal spikes that outpace cash flow, and inventory that lives in third-party warehouses instead of on a balance sheet lenders recognize. New Haven's growing base of online sellers, many operating from live-work spaces near Ninth Square or home offices in Westville, need capital structures that sync with digital revenue cycles, not traditional lease-and-register models.
Cedargrove Credit brokers funding for ecommerce business operators by translating platform analytics and marketplace statements into loan packages that underwriters actually understand. We pull your Shopify dashboard, your Amazon Seller Central reports, and your 3PL invoices into a funding narrative that moves.
Loan programs
Answer: Working capital loans, business lines of credit, inventory financing, and invoice factoring align with ecommerce cash cycles. Each program addresses different pain points: inventory purchases before peak season, bridging platform holds, covering ad spend during scale, or smoothing out lumpiness between settlement dates.
Working capital loans fund marketing blitzes, platform fees, and supplier deposits without diluting equity. Business lines of credit let you draw down when you reorder stock and pay back after settlement hits. Ecommerce inventory financing advances cash against purchase orders so you can fulfill that big order without waiting on last month's revenue. Invoice factoring turns your outstanding invoices into immediate operating cash, critical when net-30 terms from a wholesale channel clash with your need to restock fast.
SBA 7(a) programs work for established sellers buying warehouses or acquisition financing, but the 60-to-90-day SBA timeline rarely matches the speed ecommerce windows demand.
We don't lend. We broker. That means we match your ecommerce revenue model to the lender pool that actually writes ecommerce business loans for online-only operations. A New Haven dropshipper selling pet supplies has different documentation than a Hamden-based private-label seller with FBA inventory. We know which lenders want to see your advertising return on ad spend, which accept marketplace statements as proof of revenue, and which will close in under two weeks.
You call (475) 324-8340. We review your sales history, platform, and funding need. We present options. You pick. We push the file to closing. The entire cycle compresses because we've already built lender relationships that trust our underwriting summaries.

A Westville resident runs a Shopify store selling artisan candles. Q4 orders spiked, but the wax supplier requires 50 percent down on a $28,000 order to lock in holiday inventory. Her bank wanted two years of tax returns and a commercial lease she doesn't have. We brokered a small business loan for ecommerce through a lender that accepted six months of Shopify statements and her Google Ads conversion data. Funding hit her account in nine business days. She filled the order, doubled revenue that quarter, and paid the loan off in four months.
