Wine and whisky financing provides businesses with access to working capital that they may not have been able to obtain through traditional lending sources. Additionally, asset-backed lending, revenue-based financing, and producer cash advances can be easier to qualify for and offer flexible repayment terms.
Revenue-based financing can be a flexible financing option for businesses that may not be able to obtain traditional loans. Since the repayment is based on a percentage of revenue, it can be more manageable for businesses with fluctuating cash flows. Additionally, since RBF does not require collateral or personal guarantees, it can be a less risky option for businesses.

Revenue-Based Financing (RBF) is a form of alternative financing where a business receives funding in exchange for a percentage of its future revenue. Unlike traditional lending, RBF does not require the borrower to pledge collateral or provide a personal guarantee.
With RBF, the lender provides a lump sum of funding to a business in exchange for a percentage of its future revenue. The percentage is usually determined based on the business's historical revenue and growth potential. The repayment terms vary, but typically the business pays a fixed percentage of its monthly revenue until the financing amount, plus a predetermined return, is repaid.
