Typical loan size: Consignment shop loans usually run $15K to $150K, with multi-location resale operations reaching $300K.
Seasonality: Inventory intake spikes after spring closet clean-outs and back-to-school, while sales peak in the Q4 holiday gifting window and slow in midsummer.

Capital use cases for consignment shop businesses
- Front consignor payouts: Owners typically draw $20K–$75K on a line of credit to pay consignors promptly while items sell, repaying as resale revenue clears so cash never stalls between intake and sell-through.
- Store fixtures and tagging: A $15K–$50K working capital loan funds racks, mirrors, steamers, and barcode-tagging software, repaid over 2–4 years as organized inventory boosts turnover.
- Second resale location: A $75K–$150K term loan covers the build-out and opening inventory of a second shop, repaid over 5 years as the new store builds its own consignor base.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of business loans can Consignment Shop owners qualify for?
Through Manu's partner application, consignment shop owners can access small business loans ($10K–$10M), SBA 7(a) and 504 loans ($50K–$5M), business lines of credit, equipment financing, merchant cash advances, accounts receivable financing, and inventory lines. Terms are tailored to your revenue and time in business.
How fast can a Consignment Shop business get funded?
Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying consignment shop businesses. Small business loans and equipment financing typically fund in 1–3 business days. SBA loans take 4–10 weeks due to government underwriting.
What credit score do I need for Consignment Shop financing?
Minimum FICO depends on the product: equipment financing starts at 550, small business loans at 580, lines of credit at 600, and SBA loans at 660. Merchant cash advances and accounts receivable financing have no minimum FICO — they're underwritten on revenue and receivables instead.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
No. Pre-qualification uses a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score. A hard pull only happens if you accept a final offer from a lender.
What documents do Consignment Shop businesses need to apply?
To pre-qualify, you'll share basic business information plus your most recent 3 months of business bank statements. To finalize an offer, most lenders ask for 3–6 months of bank statements in total. Larger loans may also require tax returns or financial statements.
