Explain a predictable dip when you apply rather than letting the numbers speak alone.
A fruit orchard and farm market in Vegreville deposits about $38,000 a month, of which roughly $28,500 comes from card sales. It takes a $30,000 advance for a renovation before the busy season at a 1.28 factor rate, so the total to repay is $38,400. With a 10% holdback on card sales, about $2,850 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 13 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
For illustration; terms differ by funder. Run your own figures in the calculators.
