Challenge
An Opportunity to Grow
Contractors don’t always have a great reputation and lenders are often skeptical to lend to the industry. Larry had a great opportunity in front of him but the business’s cash flow didn’t allow him to finance the project long-term. The traditional sources of financing only cared about the company’s credit history. Despite it being good, banks were still not willing to help due to the industry they are in.
“The Financing we got from Merchant Growth gave us the opportunity to take on larger projects and grow our company”
Larry Costa Estrela, President – Construction LCE Inc
Solution
An Efficient Way to Get Financing
Larry reached out to Merchant Growth, “the process was extremely easy and fast. We had our funds within 2-3 days and the service was phenomenal”.
Traditional banks see businesses like Construction LCE Inc as risky. Merchant Growth, however, looks to understand your business and not generalize based on the industry.
Result
Constant Work and Increased Revenues
Construction LCE Inc was able to get the financing they requested to help their business grow and take on new projects. The rate was a little higher than traditional financing options, but if they didn’t have those funds the project wouldn’t have been doable. The result? Construction LCE Inc gained a client that provides them with constant work, which means constant profits.
