Case studies

Real files, tailored solutions.

Every business arrives with its own situation: an offer to validate, a refusal from the bank, a cash crunch. Here is how we structured some of our files. Our clients' names remain confidential.

TransportationEquipment financingIn business for 10 years$1.5M in revenue

Three trucks, two offers in hand. Which ones were really the best?

Two offers to validate $600,000 for three trucks
  • New truck$250,000Manufacturer's offer kept
  • Used truck$200,000New lender, better terms
  • Used truck$150,000New lender, better terms
The need
A new $250,000 truck and two used trucks at $200,000 and $150,000.
The obstacle
Two offers already in hand: the manufacturer's, and one from a former lender for the used trucks.
What we did
We advised him to keep the manufacturer's offer, which was excellent. The used trucks went to a lender more competitive in transportation. Cash purchase and financing compared with his accountant.
The result
72 months, a very low buyout, several thousand dollars saved and a new lender in his network. Funds released in 2 weeks.

ConstructionEquipment financingIn business for 6 years$800,000 in revenue

A difficult personal credit file. An excavator anyway.

Difficult personal credit $70,000 financed without a personal guarantee
  • 1st financing repaid
  • 2nd financing repaid
  • 3rd financing repaid
  • 4th financing repaid

The company's history: no payment defaults

The need
A $70,000 excavator.
The obstacle
A difficult personal credit file. The owner didn't believe it would go through.
What we did
A file put together in the company's name only, with a lender that relied on its revenue, cash flow and commercial history.
The result
Excavator financed on good terms, without a personal guarantee. Funds released in about a week.

Snow removal and landscapingRefinancing$2.5M in revenue

A $500,000 municipal contract to deliver, and no more cushion in the account.

Contract to deliver, cash flow dry $150,000 put back into the account
Snow removal tractors, first lender70%
Pickups and trailers, second lender60%
The need
Working capital to carry out a municipal contract won through a call for tenders.
The obstacle
Unexpected expenses and clients paying late.
What we did
The paid-off equipment was refinanced with two lenders, each specialized in its type of asset.
The result
$150,000 in cash, less expensive than a loan elsewhere, with the tax advantages of refinancing.
