You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Inventory Financing Strategy.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I need to finance a larger inventory purchase of {{amount}} to capture the next seasonal peak. My options are: business credit card, revenue-based financing (Clearco, Wayflyer), Amazon Lending, SBA loan, or supplier payment terms. Compare each option on: cost of capital (effective APR), application complexity, funding speed, and flexibility.
- Step 2: Model the profitability of the inventory purchase under each financing scenario — does the incremental margin exceed the financing cost?
- Step 3: Recommend the best option for my situation and create an application preparation checklist. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

PRO TIP

Revenue-based financing (Clearco, Wayflyer) is often the fastest and most e-commerce-friendly option — they assess your platform data directly and fund within days. The cost (typically 6–12% of the advance amount) is transparent and often lower than credit card APR on a rolling balance.
