Our receivables run 60 days behind payroll. The line of credit covers that gap every month and costs us nothing in the weeks we don’t touch it.

Two trucks went down in the same month. Equipment financing put replacements on the road in under a week and left our cash reserves alone.

The SBA process is genuinely long, and they said so on day one instead of promising me two weeks. Ninety days later we closed on the building.

I had been quoted by three brokers who all wanted the same paperwork. Here one person handled it and the number I was quoted was the number I signed.
