Real owners. Real cash-flow problems. Solved.

The challenge

Our main alignment rack and one lift died in the same month. We were turning away work we could not physically do.

The outcome

We added a third service bay and now handle about 35 percent more cars a week. The gear paid for itself faster than we expected.

“I thought new equipment was a year away. Two days after I called, the money was there and my guys were back to full speed.”

The challenge

Wedding season meant buying ingredients and hiring staff weeks before any deposit cleared. Cash was always tight in the spring.

The outcome

We took on 18 weddings that season without turning any away. The flexible line kept payroll and supplies covered through every gap.

“Having credit I can tap and repay as bookings come in changed how I say yes. I stopped losing events over timing.”

The challenge

We won a bid on a large warehouse job, but had to buy materials and mobilize crews before the first progress payment. Suppliers wanted cash up front.

The outcome

We finished the 1.4 million dollar job on schedule and it opened the door to two more warehouse contracts with the same client.

“Without that upfront money I would have had to pass on the biggest job of my career. Instead it became my best year.”

The challenge

Our patient wait times were creeping past three weeks. We needed to build out two more operatories, but a big renovation was hard to fund out of pocket.

The outcome

The two new operatories cut wait times in half and let us bring on another hygienist. Patient volume grew steadily after the expansion.

“The team walked me through the SBA paperwork without making it feel overwhelming. Now we actually have room to grow our patient base.”

The challenge

The holiday rush was coming and we knew our bestsellers would sell out. We needed a big inventory buy but our revenue swings month to month.

The outcome

We kept our top products in stock all through the holidays and grew fourth quarter sales by 52 percent over the prior year.

“Paying back as a slice of sales just made sense for us. In a slow week I never felt squeezed by a fixed bill.”

The challenge

Our biggest customers paid on 60 to 90 day terms, but our steel suppliers and welders needed paying now. The gap kept stalling new orders.

The outcome

With steady cash we took on two new recurring clients and never missed a payroll again. The 60 day gap simply stopped being a problem.

“We were doing great work but drowning waiting on invoices. Getting paid the next day instead of two months later fixed everything.”

The challenge

The suite next door opened up and I had one week to grab the lease. I did not have the cash on hand for the deposit and buildout.

The outcome

I expanded into the second suite and added six new stylist stations. Booking demand filled most of the new chairs within three months.

“That space would have been gone in days. FundBetter moved fast enough that I could actually say yes before someone else did.”

The challenge

Summer demand outran our two vans and we were booking installs three weeks out. Buying more trucks and tools all at once was a stretch.

The outcome

We put four fully stocked trucks on the road and cut our install backlog to a few days. Annual revenue climbed as we caught up on demand.

“Stretching the payments over a few years is what made it doable. Now we are not turning customers away in July anymore.”
