A worked example from Elizabethtown-Kitley

Illustrative arithmetic

A fruit orchard and farm market in Elizabethtown-Kitley deposits about $43,000 a month, of which roughly $34,400 comes from card sales. It takes a $26,000 advance for a renovation before the busy season at a 1.24 factor rate, so the total to repay is $32,240. With a 12% holdback on card sales, about $4,128 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 8 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.

Example only; approval is never guaranteed. Run your own figures in the calculators.

How to apply from Elizabethtown-Kitley

Around $20,000 a month in deposits is where many Canadian files begin. About 12 months in business and few low-balance days help. Credit is read too: 500 and up is considered, 600+ is stronger.
