A growing youth soccer program set its sights on national expansion, beginning with the buildout of a large-scale soccer facility in Arizona. To meet the demands of an upcoming tournament season and position the business for long-term growth, the company turned to Fora Financial for fast, flexible capital.
Vision
The company's vision is to expand its footprint from its first West Coast location across the country, launching additional soccer programs and facilities. By creating high-quality training environments and hosting competitive tournaments, the business aims to become a leader in youth soccer development nationwide.
Opportunity
By completing the buildout of additional soccer fields, the facility could significantly increase revenue—projecting $4–5 million in 2025. These earnings would be reinvested to launch more locations across the U.S., driving the company's coast-to-coast expansion strategy.
