Florists manage perishable inventory and dramatic holiday spikes, buying flowers that must sell fast. Funding covers coolers, delivery, and the big seasonal buys around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and weddings.
What florists use funding for
- Floral coolers and refrigeration
- Delivery vehicles and van wraps
- Holiday inventory: Valentine's, Mother's Day, weddings
- Shop build-out, displays, and POS
- Working capital between peak floral holidays
How much can you borrow?
Florists typically borrow $10,000 to $120,000 — equipment financing for coolers and vans, working capital for the big holiday inventory buys.
The cash-flow challenge for florists
Flowers are perishable, so you buy heavily right before a holiday and must sell through fast — a mistimed Valentine's or Mother's Day order is money lost. Weddings and events add large, deadline-driven buys.
Tip: Fund your Valentine's and Mother's Day buys with short-term working capital timed to those exact peaks, not a year-round loan.
Best financing options
Coolers and delivery vans fit equipment financing. The big holiday inventory buys suit working capital or a line of credit repaid as the holiday sells through.
