Mini Case Study
Maria's Kitchen Got $35K in 4 Hours
Maria's walk-in cooler failed on a Friday afternoon. Every hour it stayed broken meant spoiled inventory and a closed kitchen that weekend. Three banks told her to come back in 30 days.
She found 1 Hour Lending at 9am Saturday. By 1pm she had a $35,000 MCA offer. The repair crew showed up Monday morning.
