Can Rikvin Capital fund a new outlet launch for an established brand?

Yes. We provide working-capital loans to established F&B, retail and hospitality brands launching or expanding outlets. The Italian coffee outlet at Raffles Place is one example: we structured a tailored facility that covered location lease, fit-out, hiring and stock so the brand could open on schedule.

What working capital uses do you typically support?

Common uses include premises lease commitments, fit-out and equipment, initial stock or inventory, hiring and pre-opening payroll, and marketing for launch. We are flexible on the deployment so long as the loan is secured by an asset (property, share pledge or strong personal guarantee) and there is a clear repayment source.

How is a brand-expansion loan structured?

Usually a short-term facility (6 to 18 months) with monthly interest payments, exiting via either operating cash flow once the new outlet is trading or a long-term bank facility once trading numbers are established. Loan size is sized to the brand's wider asset base and the project budget.
