The EcomCrew Ecommerce Podcast · May 21, 2021 · 41 min

Summary

Whether you're just starting out or are looking to scale your business, capital is a problem. Things change fast in ecommerce and getting your hands on cash can be difficult.    My guest today is Don Henig, a tried-and-true finance guy who has found a rather fresh way of financing Amazon businesses through his company, AccrueMe.    AccrueMe is an investment company that offers funding to Amazon private labels and wholesalers in return for a small temporary share in profits. Its goal is to help Amazon sellers grow without worrying about the usual burdens of typical financing options—there's no interest to worry about, no required monthly payments, and they don't take any ownership over your business.    In this episode, we'll get to know Don and the interesting story behind AccrueMe. He'll also walk me through the process of how their financing model works, with real-world examples to boot.    So, if you're pressed for cash or are planning to take your business to the next level with additional capital, you'll get a lot out of this episode.   Timestamps:  Why and how Don started AccrueMe – 3:41 How AccrueMe financing works – 12:39  Some important points I like about the AccrueMe financing model – 18:28 Real-world examples of AccrueMe financing – 22:33 How you can apply for funding – 31:58 The minimum requirements for approval – 35:53
