Challenge

The Maintenance and Upkeep of the Trucks

As any business owner, you have to expect the unexpected. During spring break, Mr. Harms had one of his trucks break down, which caused a large issue for his small business as now half his business is sidelined as he only has one other truck. Mr. Harms used his money to fix it up, which depleted the company’s savings, causing stress to the business.

To that end, there was added pressure on the second truck, and before Mr. Harms could even start collecting payments from his customers, the second truck broke down and needed new parts. The bills started adding up, so Mr. Harms contacted Merchant Growth to help.

 

“The financing helped me a lot, I was able to payoff my creditors, purchase tires and pay a parts bill that was nearly $10,000. The financing was fast and efficient I didn’t have to wait for a week or two. The whole process took a couple of days from calling to receiving the funds”
