Real Results
Sarah M.
Residential & Commercial Landscaping, North Carolina
The Challenge
Sarah's landscaping company had strong seasonal revenue but she was repeatedly offered smaller financing amounts than seemed appropriate for her business size. She needed $65,000 for a complete crew addition.
The Solution
We evaluated her peak season deposits, commercial contracts, and growth trajectory. She qualified for $75,000, covering the crew addition plus working capital buffer.
The Result
Sarah added her second crew and grew commercial accounts 40% year-over-year. She is now planning her third crew addition and exploring WBE certification for corporate accounts.
“Other lenders kept offering less than I needed. Getting proper evaluation of my business performance meant I could add a complete crew instead of piecing things together.”
