InvestBev Credit is a financial solution provider for the alcohol beverage sector. Today, it announced a strategic partnership with Lofted Custom Spirits. This contract sales division sells Bardstown Bourbon as well as Green River Whiskey on behalf of Lofted Spirits. InvestBev Credit, a leading financial solutions provider in the alcohol beverage industry, announced today a new strategic financing partnership with Lofted Custom Spirits, the contract sales arm that sells both Bardstown Bourbon and Green River whiskey as part of Lofted Spirits.
This partnership demonstrates InvestBev Credit’s commitment to support independent brands within the American Spirits Industry by providing them with access to capital that was previously not available through traditional lending institutions. Lofted Custom Spirits’ clients are able to free up cash by using aging barrels as collateral. This does not compromise their growth strategy.
Brian Rosen, General partner at InvestBev said: “Partnering Lofted Spirits with their team of customer-focused professionals helps InvestBev achieve its core mission of supporting independent brands in America.” This partnership will allow Lofted Spirits’ clients to have financial flexibility as they navigate an ever-changing spirits market. “We remain committed to providing at least $50m of credit in support of Lofted Spirits’ customers.”
InvestBev Credit hopes to ease the financial burden of Lofted Spirit partners through this arrangement. This will allow them to focus on product development, marketing and distribution, while still maintaining a solid inventory to position them for the long-term.
Pete Marino said, “We are aware that there are many great brands looking for funding and InvestBev already has provided several of Lofted Spirits’ custom distillation brands a fantastic financing alternative.” Lofted spirits always strives to provide the best service for its customers. This alliance with InvestBev, on their finance offering, is an example of this commitment.
Lofted Spirits offers the most technologically advanced and flexible end-to-end distilling, bottling, and aging solution. They produce more than 60 custom recipes, and customize more than 500 production points. Lofted Spirits also owns Bardstown Bourbon Co.
