Answer

My busy season came early and I'm not ready — how do I fund the catch-up?

An early peak catches you under-stocked and under-staffed; fast working-capital finance funds the catch-up so you capture the season instead of missing its start.

Caught on the back foot

When a busy season starts earlier than planned, you can be short of stock and staff just as demand surges. Missing the opening weeks of a peak leaves real money on the table.

Fund the fast catch-up

A short working-capital facility funds emergency stock and interim staff so you capture the season from the start. Repay as the peak's sales come through.

Plan the calendar next year

Map your season on the seasonal cash buffer calculator and arrange a standby facility ahead of time, so an early start never catches you short again.
