Financing a new food and beverage business is a huge hurdle, especially when investing in growth. After being a bootstrapped small business with a local fan base and distribution for a couple of years, Arik Markus, Founder of Herbn’ Pantry picked up the largest account he could have imagined- Fred Meyer. The PO came in for 4 pallets of his sauces, a pallet of each, a total of over 11,000 bottles and 30 day delivery terms.

Arik turned to James and the Aion Financial team to fund that order collateralized by the PO. This funding allowed Arik to launch with Fred Meyer while only taking on a reasonable interest rate.
