Compared with the province, Amherstburg is unusually concentrated in manufacturing (20.5% of jobs versus 9.1% provincially). Local suppliers, trades and service firms often ride the same cycle.
Manufacturers pay for materials up front and wait to be paid. Suppliers to the plants feel the same lag. Snow season helps Amherstburg clearing and indoor trades but slows patios and landscaping.
A revenue-linked payment can follow a seasonal curve.
A metal fabrication shop in Amherstburg with about $108,000 in monthly deposits takes $59,000 to buy materials for booked jobs at a 1.28 factor rate, for a total payback of $75,520 over about 9 months. That works out to roughly $1,938 a week, or about 8% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $16,520 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
