Retail businesses often need capital to keep inventory moving, manage seasonal demand, and invest in growth.

Having access to the right funding can give you more flexibility to act on opportunities without putting unnecessary pressure on cash flow.

Q4 growth is not just about having opportunities. It is about having the cash flow to support them.

Inventory, payroll, seasonal demand, receivables, and expansion expenses can all put pressure on cash flow as the year closes.

Instead of waiting for cash to get tight, businesses can plan their financing strategy early and stay ready for what Q4 brings.

Plan your capital before you need it.

The latest 1West Small Business Health Index shows continued momentum. The Q2 2026 index reached 69.1, up from 68.9 in Q1.

But stronger business health does not eliminate the need for capital. Many healthy businesses still face a financing gap when preparing for expansion, hiring, inventory, or new opportunities.

As Q4 approaches, access to the right capital could be what turns business momentum into measurable growth.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the Hispanic entrepreneurs whose businesses create jobs, serve communities, and contribute to the strength of the U.S. economy.

At the same time, access to capital is changing. New 2026 SBA eligibility requirements have made some SBA-backed financing unavailable to certain business owners, including some non-U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

At 1West, we believe one financing path shouldn’t define a business owner’s options.

Our alternative lending network is built to help businesses explore additional financing solutions when traditional options may not be the right fit.

Because when you're building something, you deserve options.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the entrepreneurs who keep building, and the communities that grow with them.

[1West @Finance1west]

Hispanic Heritage Month starts today.

Here's a number worth sitting with: 5.3 million Hispanic-owned businesses in the U.S., 17.5% of all businesses without employees. And Latino-owned employer firms are growing at 7.7% a year, while the national average sits at 0.46%.

That's not a niche. That's the engine.

To every owner who built something from scratch, banked on family before they could bank on a bank, and kept the doors open anyway, we see the work.

A line of credit and a business loan serve different purposes.

A line of credit can provide flexible access to funds when you need them. A business loan may be better suited for a specific, planned expense with a defined funding amount.

The right choice depends on your business needs, cash flow, and goals.

Our CEO Kunal Bhasin joined the Beyond the Bank podcast to talk about something every business owner can act on: timing.

When capital is planned 30 or 60 days out, owners have room to gather records, review products, and choose terms that fit the business. When the need shows up today, the calendar makes the decision instead.

In the episode, Kunal covers:

- Why financing works best as part of business planning
- How speed and documentation shape the products available to you
- How smarter lender matching gets owners in front of the right partners
- What is next as approvals move closer to instant
