Short answer: Florists run on perishable stock and sharp holiday peaks, with February and May the defining weeks of the year and weddings adding large orders. Funders read holiday spikes, event deposits, wire-service and online order payouts and stock purchases. Common uses are coolers, a delivery vehicle or stock ahead of a peak.

Florists run on perishable stock and sharp holiday peaks, with events and weddings adding large orders.
February and May are the defining weeks of the year, with wedding season through summer and holiday arrangements in December.
A short advance suits a vehicle or cooler. Revenue-share structures follow the holiday-driven pattern.
A neighbourhood florist depositing about $35,000 a month asks for $12,000 for a delivery van and cooler repairs. At a 1.25 factor the payback is $15,000, a cost of $3,000. Over roughly 5 months that is about $143 per business day, or close to 9% of monthly deposits.
Every figure on this page is illustrative arithmetic in Canadian dollars. It is not an offer, a quote or a promise of approval.
Most florist months are steady walk-in and delivery trade, with wedding and event deposits arriving months ahead. Then February and May bring several weeks of revenue in a few days. Stock for those peaks is bought days before. A reviewer reads whether the account can carry the stock purchase and how fast the peak repays it.
Florists in colder provinces face higher shipping and heating costs in winter and depend on imported stems. Those cost spikes ahead of February are part of the cash pattern a reviewer expects to see.
Having one-line answers ready, with the statements, is usually enough to move a file from questions to a decision.
