Growth Stories

Meat Wholesaler in California

We were able to accept more orders from existing customers and also started working with some of the popular retail chains. This meant that we had to keep our cash flow healthier than ever to fulfil this increase in demand. It's a nice problem to have as a growing business and it helps when you have a partner like Drip.

Coffee Importer in Florida

Using our bank lines to pay suppliers while cargo is still on water didn't fit very well with our working capital cycle, and we wish we would've known about Drip earlier. They have been really supportive in our growth and are helping us scale faster through both inventory and supply chain finance.

Seafoods Trader in Florida

Drip's credit line and financing process is transparent and works perfectly with our current bank. Thanks to them we are now able to purchase best quality products from reputed suppliers at attractive prices by paying upon shipment. I can now say that we're maximising our cash-conversion cycle in true sense.
