Are you looking for debt financing sources for your CPG brand to support your growth?  Keith Kohler, the Financing Man and long-term Foodbevy collaborator, has put together this online version of his book CPG Financing Guide (that was published in December 2023) and is making it available to our community. 

It covers debt financing options across the four financing stages of your business:

  1. Start-Up and Early Stage
  2. Growth / Pre-Profitability
  3. Breakeven to Profitable
  4. Multi-Year Profitability

It breaks down and explains the different types and amounts of debt financing you can be eligible for, typical ranges on key terms, documents you need, and key insights. 

Keith also is sharing his curated list of trusted financing sources and his key contacts that he works with to get deals done. 

He hopes that this will be a useful and comprehensive tool for you, and he is available to review any of this and help you create your custom financing strategy.  Click here to set up your call.

To ensure a seamless production process, brands must align their packaging supplier and co-packer early on by defining technical specifications, testing materials, and maintaining clear communication to avoid costly inefficiencies and delays.
Scaling your CPG brand requires the right systems in place to support that growth. Without clear visibility into your operations, you risk stockouts, overproduction, lost profitability, and compliance issues.
To build high-converting landing pages, focus on a compelling offer that creates urgency, a streamlined page design that quickly answers customer questions, and high-performing ad copy that resonates with your audience and drives immediate action.
