Equity financing means offering an ownership stake in your business in return for upfront capital. This funding may come from angel investors, venture capitalists, peer-to-peer investors, or friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One advantage of equity financing is that businesses can raise money without much\u2014or, for that matter, any\u2014operating history. So, if you\u2019re planning to\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/how-to-open-a-coffee-shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">open a coffee shop<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, looking to friends and family as a source of capital is a safe place to start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31514 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kelly-sikkema-3-Tc_5LROrM-unsplash-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kelly-sikkema-3-Tc_5LROrM-unsplash-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kelly-sikkema-3-Tc_5LROrM-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kelly-sikkema-3-Tc_5LROrM-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kelly-sikkema-3-Tc_5LROrM-unsplash-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kelly-sikkema-3-Tc_5LROrM-unsplash-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kelly-sikkema-3-Tc_5LROrM-unsplash-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, equity investments are primarily geared towards high-risk technology and innovation startups, with the potential to generate a massive return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Debt financing is likely the better option for those who\u2019ve already established a caf\u00e9 making steady money. It\u2019s pretty straightforward: you borrow money from a lender and repay it from your business\u2019s cash flow over time. Business owners typically use debt financing when opening a new location, purchasing equipment or inventory, covering operational costs, refinancing debt, or expanding a team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Comparing Debt Financing Options<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Multiple borrowing avenues fall under the debt financing umbrella. Depending on how long your cafe\u2019s been in business, how much you\u2019d like to borrow, and how much revenue your business generates, one type of financing may be more appropriate than another.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Option #1: Term Loan<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Best for:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Established businesses making investments for growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Term loans are one of the most common debt financing options. With a\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/term-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">term loan<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, you borrow a specific amount of money and repay it over time. Term loans can feature terms of just a few months or extend up to five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your interest rate may be fixed or variable, and the rate you\u2019ll pay depends on factors like your operating history, revenues, and personal credit score. An online lender may be able to offer more favorable rates on a term loan compared to a traditional bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The amount you can borrow with a term loan may be anywhere from $20,000 to $1 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Option #2: Equipment Loan<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Best for:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Newer businesses financing small and large-scale equipment purchases for your caf\u00e9 or coffee shop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can\u2019t successfully run a caf\u00e9 if your espresso machine or fridges are constantly on the fritz. An equipment loan can help you upgrade your existing equipment without tapping into your cash reserves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31515 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/northfolk-Ok76F6yW2iA-unsplash-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/northfolk-Ok76F6yW2iA-unsplash-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/northfolk-Ok76F6yW2iA-unsplash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/northfolk-Ok76F6yW2iA-unsplash-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/northfolk-Ok76F6yW2iA-unsplash-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/northfolk-Ok76F6yW2iA-unsplash-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/freshcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/northfolk-Ok76F6yW2iA-unsplash-200x113.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>Generally, equipment financing allows you to borrow up to 100% of the equipment\u2019s value, and the equipment acts as collateral for the loan. Depending on the loan amount and the lender, you may have to offer some money in the way of a down payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The interest rates for equipment loans are slightly higher than what you\u2019d expect with a term loan. Funding is typically quick, with financing available in as little as two to three business days.<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Option #3: Working Capital Loan<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Best for:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Newer and established businesses that need funding to cover day-to-day expenses<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/working-capital-loans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Working capital loans<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0are designed to cover short-term business needs. For example, if you want to revamp your marketing campaign or stock up on inventory ahead of the holiday season, a working capital loan might be the answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">These loans typically have lower borrowing amounts than term or equipment loans, often maxing out at $500,000. The interest rates for working capital loans may be higher based on the lender and your creditworthiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Something else to consider about working capital loans is that they tend to have shorter repayment terms. Generally, these loans have terms of 12 months or less, so you\u2019ll need to consider whether that\u2019s something your current cash flow can sustain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Option #4: Merchant Cash Advance<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Best for:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Newer businesses or caf\u00e9s and coffee shop owners with less-than-perfect credit<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If your caf\u00e9 has steady debit and credit card sales, you may be able to borrow against them using a\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/blog\/merchant-cash-advance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">merchant cash advance<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Merchant advances are repaid out of your future credit and debit receipts. This type of funding is fast, and you don\u2019t necessarily need excellent credit or a more extended operating history to qualify.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Instead of an interest rate, merchant cash advances use a factor rate, which often ranges from 1.15 to 1.5 (meaning if you borrow $10,000 at a factor rate of 1.15, you\u2019ll pay back $10,000 x 1.15, or $11,500). While a merchant cash advance can offer convenience, it\u2019s essential to calculate the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">true<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0cost of borrowing is before pursuing this financing option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before making a final decision regarding financing for your caf\u00e9, it\u2019s essential to weigh the pros and cons of each pathway. Ultimately, the option you choose should allow you to reach your business goals without compromising the stability of your bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Samantha Novick<\/strong> is a content manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/bondstreet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bond Street<\/a>, a small business blog designed to make business growth simple, transparent, and fair.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article was originally published on May 30, 2017 and has been updated to meet Fresh Cup&#8217;s current editorial standards.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A caf\u00e9 owner&#8217;s guide to debt and equity financing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1098,"featured_media":13454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}},"beyondwords_generate_audio":"","beyondwords_project_id":"","beyondwords_content_id":"","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"","beyondwords_hash":"","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.12 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fund It: How To Navigate Small Business Financing for Your Caf\u00e9 - Fresh Cup Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A reliable source of capital is necessary to fuel growth.
