What the numbers look like in King

Worked example

A fruit orchard and farm market in King deposits about $51,000 a month, of which roughly $30,600 comes from card sales. It takes a $36,000 advance for a second point-of-sale area at a 1.18 factor rate, so the total to repay is $42,480. With a 10% holdback on card sales, about $3,060 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 14 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
