Growth Without Retail Cash Flow Bottlenecks
Three kiosks in just 18 months—and plenty of challenges along the way. Kian Mehmandoost knows what it takes to succeed in retail. High initial investment, difficulty securing business loans, and maintaining liquidity are just a few of the hurdles entrepreneurs in this industry must overcome.
The Challenges
Inaccessible Retail Business Loans
Traditional banks rarely lend to entrepreneurs who have been in business for less than three years.
Upfront Inventory Costs
Opening a new kiosk requires a significant investment in inventory.
Cash Flow Management
Maintaining liquidity as the business scales is critical.
Risk Management
As profits are realized over time, minimizing financial risk is essential.
“When opening a new shop, you must make a significant upfront investment in stock—sometimes up to €70,000”—Kian Mehmandoost, Managing Director
