Example: a fruit orchard and farm market in North Huron

Illustrative arithmetic

A fruit orchard and farm market in North Huron deposits about $46,000 a month, of which roughly $34,500 comes from card sales. It takes a $28,000 advance to stock up ahead of the holidays at a 1.26 factor rate, so the total to repay is $35,280. With a 10% holdback on card sales, about $3,450 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 10 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.

How the year runs for North Huron businesses
