$500K Boost Powers Young Entrepreneurs Beverage Breakthrough

Sallyport is excited to announce a $500,000 Factoring Facility for a rapidly growing natural energy drink company making major strides across North America.

Referred by a trusted broker partner, this innovative beverage brand was recently awarded national distribution with Target in the U.S. - a milestone that brings tremendous opportunity, but also the need for fast, reliable working capital. With increased production demands and long retailer payment terms, the company needed a flexible funding solution to support its next stage of expansion.

Our facility is being used to stabilize cash flow, support upfront production costs and ensure the

business can confidently meet rising order volumes. Looking ahead, the company aims to expand its product line across Target stores nationwide while deepening relationships with major distributors in Canada.

Sallyport was selected for our cross-border funding capability, allowing us to seamlessly support their operations in both the U.S. and Canada. In 2026, our aligned production finance partner will join the capital stack to provide additional supply-chain financing as purchase orders continue to scale.

Sallyport's Patrick Zazueta commended the achievements of two young Entrepreneurs:

"Founded by two young entrepreneurs while attending college in Victoria, BC; their ambition, tenacity and passion for their natural drink product opened doors for them in Target stores across the U.S. - an impressive feat! Sales throughout Canada and the US will continue to grow through distributor relationships in 2026 and beyond."

We're proud to champion this inspiring female-founded brand as they build momentum across North America. Here's to scaling smarter, faster and with the right partners in place.
