Inflation is squeezing cash flow and slowing growth for small businesses nationwide. Gulfstream Funding offers flexible, fast funding that adapts to today’s economic challenges—without giving up equity or control.

The Cost of Doing Business Keeps Rising

Today’s inflation rate hovers between 3.8% and 4.5%, driving up the cost of goods, rent, labor, and materials. It’s harder than ever to maintain profit margins, pay vendors on time, and reinvest in your growth.

Top 3 Ways Inflation Impacts Small Businesses

  • Working Capital Shrinks – Your money doesn’t stretch as far as it used to.
  • Bank Loans Are Harder to Get – Stricter requirements and longer approvals.
  • Equity Financing Looks Tempting – But giving up control isn’t the answer.

Retain Control. Unlock Capital.
