A fruit orchard and farm market in Hanover deposits about $54,000 a month, of which roughly $37,800 comes from card sales. It takes a $38,000 advance to replace kitchen or shop equipment at a 1.20 factor rate, so the total to repay is $45,600. With a 9% holdback on card sales, about $3,402 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 13 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
