A fitness studio in Hudson deposits about $40,000 a month, of which roughly $26,000 comes from card sales. It takes a $18,000 advance to stock up ahead of the holidays at a 1.28 factor rate, so the total to repay is $23,040. With a 11% holdback on card sales, about $2,860 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 8 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
