A worked example from Otonabee-South Monaghan

Worked example

A fruit orchard and farm market in Otonabee-South Monaghan deposits about $36,000 a month, of which roughly $27,000 comes from card sales. It takes a $25,000 advance to replace kitchen or shop equipment at a 1.18 factor rate, so the total to repay is $29,500. With a 10% holdback on card sales, about $2,700 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 11 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
