Why alternative lending could be the best option for ecommerce businesses

There are several reasons why alternative lending options offer better value to ecommerce businesses, such as a lack of collateral compared to traditional brick-and-mortar businesses, having lower credit scores or shorter operating histories, needing a faster cash influx or requiring specialised financing solutions.
