Seeding and harvest bookend the year. Ag-service businesses see their peaks in the same weeks. Expect a Leamington winter slowdown in construction and a post-holiday dip in spending.

A fruit orchard and farm market in Leamington deposits about $50,000 a month, of which roughly $32,500 comes from card sales. It takes a $40,000 advance for a renovation before the busy season at a 1.30 factor rate, so the total to repay is $52,000. With a 9% holdback on card sales, about $2,925 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 18 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
