Colorado Craft Brewery Financing

Colorado Craft Brewery Loans | SBA & Conventional Financing

US Professional Funding provides Colorado craft brewery financing for owners, buyers, and operators across the state. SBA and conventional options are both available. Funding can support acquisitions, start-up costs, expansion, equipment, and working capital.

Colorado’s craft beer market benefits from a well-established craft beer culture and a growing Denver metro area. Breweries in the state often need financing that reflects these local conditions.

Craft breweries across Colorado have financing needs shaped by production capacity, taproom traffic, and seasonal demand. Ingredients, payroll, and distribution costs are also significant considerations. These must be managed alongside growth, such as additional fermentation capacity or expanded taproom space.

USPF evaluates each Colorado craft brewery financing request individually. We consider the business, the purpose of the financing, and the transaction structure. This applies whether the goal is acquiring an existing brewery, launching a new one, or funding equipment and facility needs.

Craft Brewery Financing Across Colorado

Craft breweries in Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Boulder each face different market conditions. Production costs, taproom demand, and local competition all play a role. Breweries in larger metro areas like Denver often face higher facility and equipment costs. Breweries in smaller communities may see a more localized customer base.

Regardless of market, Colorado craft breweries frequently need capital. This can mean funding a brewery acquisition or launching a new taproom. It can also mean securing working capital to cover ingredients, payroll, and distribution during growth.

Colorado Craft Brewery Acquisition Financing

Investors and operators acquiring an established Colorado brewery can use acquisition financing to fund the purchase price. This helps preserve working capital for staffing, inventory, and transition costs. USPF reviews the scope of the transaction, including existing production capacity, taproom performance, and brand strength.

Colorado Craft Brewery Start-Up Financing

New breweries entering the Colorado market may require start-up financing. This can include brewhouse installation, facility build-out, licensing, and initial operating costs. USPF works with qualified borrowers to evaluate financing structures for a new brewery. This includes considering the owner’s experience and business plan.

Colorado Craft Brewery Expansion & Real Estate Financing

Growing Colorado breweries often need capital for expansion or facility upgrades. Additional fermentation capacity and expanded taproom space are common goals too. Financing can also support real estate acquisition, construction, or major facility improvements.

Colorado Craft Brewery Equipment Financing & Leasing

Brewing equipment represents one of the largest investments a Colorado craft brewery makes. Equipment financing and leasing can help fund brewhouse systems, fermenters, refrigeration systems, canning and bottling lines, and kegging equipment. USPF structures equipment financing around production goals and cash-flow needs, so breweries can scale output without draining working capital.

Colorado Craft Brewery Refinancing & Working Capital

Existing brewery debt can also be refinanced or consolidated. Restructuring equipment loans, property debt, and short-term capital into a single facility can improve monthly cash flow. This frees up capital for ingredients, staffing, and reinvestment in production.

Seasonal cash-flow gaps are common in the brewing business. Merchant cash advance financing can provide additional working capital for ingredients, packaging, payroll, and taproom improvements during slower periods or ahead of peak demand.
