There is a new Amazon Lending partnership with Marcus by Goldman Sachs offering a line of credit built specifically for Amazon sellers based in the US. Eligible sellers will receive invitations via Seller Central to apply with Marcus for the Line of Credit.
The Marcus Business Line of Credit offers fixed interest rates reportedly between 6.99% and 20.99%, and provides Amazon sellers with the flexibility to request funds as needed, subject to approval.
As with direct loans from Amazon Lending, the goal is to help sellers grow their Amazon business, as well as other online or offline channels. For example, sellers can use funds to cover staffing and operations costs, buy more inventory for improved cost efficiency, invest in product development and manufacturing, or expand marketing efforts to build their brands and grow their customer base. The fully digital experience makes it simple for eligible business owners to quickly see their financing options.
This partnership expands on Amazon Lending’s existing program to support seller growth. In 2019, Amazon loaned more than $1 billion to more than 14,000 US-based businesses.
The main difference between a loan from Amazon Lending and a loan from Marcus by Goldman Sachs is that Amazon Lending funded loans will have funds available within five working days, whereas Marcus by Goldman Sachs funded loans are a line of credit you can draw down as and when you need it.
