New York Craft Distillery Financing
New York Craft Distillery Loans | SBA & Conventional Financing
US Professional Funding provides New York craft distillery 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.
New York’s craft spirits market benefits from one of the largest and most competitive craft spirits markets in the country. Distilleries in the state often need financing that reflects these local conditions.
New York Craft Distillery Financing
Craft distilleries across New York have financing needs shaped by production capacity, tasting-room traffic, and aging timelines. Raw materials, payroll, and distribution costs are also significant considerations. These must be managed alongside growth, such as additional barrel storage or expanded tasting-room space.
USPF evaluates each New York craft distillery 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 distillery, launching a new one, or funding equipment and facility needs.

Craft Distillery Financing Across New York
Craft distilleries in New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse each face different market conditions. Production costs, tasting-room demand, and local competition all play a role. Distilleries in larger metro areas like New York City often face higher facility and equipment costs. Distilleries in smaller communities may see a more localized customer base.
Regardless of market, New York craft distilleries frequently need capital. This can mean funding a distillery acquisition or launching a new tasting room. It can also mean securing working capital to cover raw materials, payroll, and distribution during growth.
New York Craft Distillery Acquisition Financing
Investors and operators acquiring an established New York distillery 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, tasting-room performance, and brand strength.
New York Craft Distillery Start-Up Financing
New distilleries entering the New York market may require start-up financing. This can include still installation, facility build-out, licensing, and initial operating costs. USPF works with qualified borrowers to evaluate financing structures for a new distillery. This includes considering the owner’s experience and business plan.
New York Craft Distillery Expansion & Real Estate Financing
Growing New York distilleries often need capital for expansion or facility upgrades. Additional barrel storage and expanded tasting-room space are common goals too. Financing can also support real estate acquisition, construction, or major facility improvements.
New York Craft Distillery Equipment Financing & Leasing
Distilling equipment represents one of the largest investments a New York craft distillery makes. Equipment financing and leasing can help fund stills, column systems, fermentation tanks, mash equipment, bottling and labeling lines, and barrel aging infrastructure. USPF structures equipment financing around production goals and cash-flow needs, so distilleries can scale output without draining working capital.
New York Craft Distillery Refinancing & Working Capital
Existing distillery 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 raw materials, staffing, and reinvestment in production.
Cash-flow gaps are common in spirits production because of extended aging timelines. Merchant cash advance financing can provide additional working capital for raw materials, packaging, payroll, and tasting-room improvements during slower periods or ahead of peak demand.
