Success stories

Four files, start to finish.

Each one covers the business, what was actually wrong, what made it hard, the product we used and why, and what happened afterwards — including the parts that were expensive.

$202,000

Western Iowa — 9 business days to funding

A failing walk-in, four local ranchers, and nine business days

$400,000

Southern Wisconsin — 52 days to funding

Three advances, $2,900 a day, and a way out

$900,000 facility

Northern New Jersey — 7 business days to open

Paying in seven days, collecting in forty-five
