Example: a family medical clinic in Roberval

Sample numbers, CAD

A family medical clinic in Roberval with about $74,000 in monthly deposits takes $41,000 to cover payroll during a slow-paying contract at a 1.26 factor rate, for a total payback of $51,660 over about 6 months. That works out to roughly $1,988 a week, or about 12% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $10,660 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
