Challenge
A family-owned restaurant generating $85,000/month in peak season faced a brutal January–February slump. Revenue dropped 45%. With payroll, rent, and vendor invoices due, the owner had 18 days of runway left. A local bank declined their loan application citing insufficient assets for collateral.
Solution
Martimus Financial submitted the application to 6 MCA lenders simultaneously. Within 4 hours, the owner had 3 competitive offers. A 5,000 merchant cash advance at a 1.28 factor rate was accepted — funds deposited the next business day. The fleet mobilized on schedule, secured the contract, and completed the initial 90-day run generating 0,000 in freight revenue.

Advance Amount: $275,000

Challenge
A Miami boutique retail chain (3 locations, $220K/month average revenue) needed to stock up for the holiday season in September — but had exhausted operating reserves on a store renovation. Inventory suppliers required 50% deposit upfront. Without the inventory, they’d miss their highest-revenue quarter. A lump-sum loan would burden them through the slow Q1 period.
Solution
Martimus recommended a $200,000 revolving business line of credit rather than a term loan — so the owner could draw inventory capital as needed and repay as holiday sales came in. Drew $140,000 in September for inventory, an additional $40,000 in October for a pop-up event. Repaid $120,000 by December 31 and entered Q1 with $140,000 still available.

Q4 Revenue vs. Prior Year
$140K
Available Q1 Reserve
Q4 revenue increased 58% year-over-year. Entered Q1 with $140,000 in available credit — a buffer that eliminated the seasonal cash crunch that had plagued the business for 3 prior years.
