Building activity peaks from spring to late fall. Materials are bought before invoices are paid, and holdbacks delay final payments. January and February are the quiet stretch for many Chertsey retailers.
Time a request before the busy season, not in the middle of the slow one.
A golf course and pro shop in Chertsey deposits about $80,000 a month, of which roughly $60,000 comes from card sales. It takes a $48,000 advance for a renovation before the busy season at a 1.20 factor rate, so the total to repay is $57,600. With a 10% holdback on card sales, about $6,000 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 10 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
