Capital for inventory, staffing, build-outs, and the seasonality every retailer knows. Built by a female-led team that understands the underwriting bias you've been navigating.
Maine's seasonal coastal economy benefits from working capital tied to summer revenue cycles. Whether you're operating in Portland, Lewiston, and Bangor or anywhere across Maine, we underwrite based on your business's revenue and trajectory — not your zip code, your gender, or who's on your bank statements.
Built for the women who built Maine's boutique & retail economy.
You're not explaining your business to someone who's never run one. We've walked in your shoes — and we underwrite accordingly.
Repayment that flexes with retail's seasonal swings — heavier in your peak months, lighter during slow weeks.
We fund based on your business's revenue and trajectory. You don't pledge your home, your car, or your future.
Maine boutique & retail owners face inventory buys timed to seasons you can't control, holiday staffing ramps, and rent that doesn't care about your slow month. Our funding is built for that — fast capital you can deploy for Q4 inventory loads, new store openings, fixtures and build-outs, or surviving a slow shoulder season.
After two banks said no, Lady's First funded my boutique or retail shop expansion in Maine in 48 hours. They asked about my customers, my margins, my growth plan — not my husband. That alone made me a lifelong client.
