A furniture installation contractor was heading into a slower revenue period right when a set of new jobs came available. The timing could not have been worse. Without capital to bridge the gap, the business would have to walk away from work it was fully capable of doing. The window to act was narrow.
Vision
Passing on available jobs was not an acceptable outcome. The contractor had the crew, the expertise, and the relationships to perform. What was needed was a financial cushion to carry operations through the slower stretch while committing to the new work simultaneously.
Opportunity
The jobs existed and the business could do them. That is not always a given. When capacity and demand line up, the only question is whether capital can keep pace. Fora Financial provided an approval with options on the table within hours of being contacted.
Challenge
No Room for Delay
The upcoming jobs required materials and equipment secured by a specific date. Missing that window meant losing the work entirely.
Seasonal Revenue Dip
Lower revenue months were ahead. Without a bridge, the business faced a choice between keeping the lights on and taking on new work.
Costs Before Revenue
Furniture installation requires committing to materials and labor before a dollar of revenue comes in. That gap needed to be funded.
How Fora Financial Helped
Fora Financial had an approval with options on the table within hours. The $40,000 covered both the bridge financing needed to carry operations through the slower months and the upfront costs required to take on the new jobs. Funds were in hand before the deadline. The contractor did not have to turn away a single job.
Results

Materials were secured and jobs were committed to on time.
