Funding for 500 Second-Hand Pig Aardvarks
A customer needed funding for 500 second-hand pig aardvarks — a unique and tricky asset to finance. Most lenders wouldn’t consider it due to the second-hand nature and niche market.
The customer’s current broker initially promised funding but couldn’t deliver. This left the client scrambling for options.
We used our network to find three lenders willing to fund this unusual request. Due to the nature of this the pricing varied widely, but one of our trusted lenders offered excellent terms.
The Outcome:
We secured the funding they needed with competitive pricing. Despite the initial roadblocks, we delivered where others couldn’t.
When we are faced with a tough funding challenge, our experience and lender connections make the difference. We find solutions even for the most unusual requests. If you have a funding challenge, then please contact us today, we would love to help.
Together, we’re doing more for business
