How winery businesses use this financing

Common uses of funds:

Fermentation tanks, presses, and oak barrel programs
Vineyard planting, trellising, and harvest equipment
Tasting room and event-venue build-out
Working capital for bottling, labeling, and aging

Typical loan size: Most winery loans fall between $100K and $1M, with vineyard acquisitions and full production facilities running $2M to $6M.

Seasonality: Wineries generate most cash from the fall harvest and crush plus tasting-room tourism in summer and the holiday gifting season, with multi-year aging delays on revenue.

Most common reason for decline: Lenders most often decline wineries due to long vintage aging timelines, weather-dependent harvest yields, or large land and equipment debt loads.

Best-fit products for winery: Equipment Financing, SBA Loans, Term Loans.

Capital use cases for winery businesses

Crush equipment upgrade: A $100K–$400K equipment loan funds presses, fermentation tanks, and an oak barrel program, financed over 5–7 years to expand fall crush capacity.
Vineyard acquisition: Owners borrow $500K–$3M via an SBA loan to acquire vineyard land and tasting facilities, repaid over 10–25 years as production and tourism revenue grow.
Bottling and aging capital: A $75K–$250K term loan funds bottling, labeling, and barrel aging between vintages, repaid over 3–5 years as the aged wine reaches market.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of business loans can Winery owners qualify for?

Through Manu's partner application, winery 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 Winery business get funded?

Lines of credit and merchant cash advances can fund the same day for qualifying winery 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 Winery 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 Winery 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.
