Seasonal owners do better applying with a year of statements ready.
A fruit orchard and farm market in Centre Wellington deposits about $40,000 a month, of which roughly $24,000 comes from card sales. It takes a $32,000 advance for a second point-of-sale area at a 1.28 factor rate, so the total to repay is $40,960. With a 10% holdback on card sales, about $2,400 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 17 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
