Funding structured around your business.

As a direct lender, Shoestring Investments LLC offers a focused set of funding products designed for the realities of running a Connecticut business. Each option below can be tailored to your revenue pattern, timeline, and growth objectives. Reach out and we'll help you identify the right fit.

01

Working Capital Loans

Steady access to capital for the day-to-day demands of operating and growing a business. Working capital funding helps you cover payroll, rent, inventory, and supplier obligations during slower periods or while you wait on receivables — so a temporary gap never becomes a permanent setback.

  • Smooth seasonal and cyclical cash-flow swings
  • Cover operating expenses without dipping into reserves
  • Act quickly on bulk-purchase or supplier discounts
02

Revenue-Based Financing

Funding with repayment that flexes alongside your sales. Instead of a rigid fixed payment, revenue-based financing ties your obligation to a share of incoming revenue, which can ease pressure during slower months and accelerate as business picks up. It's a practical structure for companies with strong, recurring sales.

  • Repayment that scales with your actual revenue
  • Well-suited to seasonal and high-velocity businesses
  • Preserves predictability during slow periods
03

Equipment Financing

Acquire the machinery, vehicles, technology, and tools your operation depends on — without draining your cash. Equipment financing lets you put productive assets to work immediately while spreading the cost over time, often using the equipment itself as part of the structure.

  • Upgrade or expand capacity without a large upfront outlay
  • Keep working capital free for operations
  • Finance new or essential replacement equipment
04

Business Funding

General-purpose capital for the many initiatives that drive growth: hiring and training staff, building inventory, launching marketing campaigns, renovating a space, or simply strengthening your balance sheet. We work with you to size and structure funding around the specific outcome you're after.

  • Flexible use of funds across growth priorities
  • Sized to your goals, not a one-size-fits-all formula
  • Clear, plain-language terms from a direct lender
05

Bridge & Expansion

Capital to carry you between milestones and to fund your next stage of growth. Bridge funding covers the gap between a known future event and your present need, while expansion financing helps you open a new location, enter a new market, or scale a proven model with confidence.

  • Short-term bridge capital between funding milestones
  • Expansion financing for new locations and markets
  • Structured to align with your growth timeline
