Jake’s client, a long-established business with over 20 years of operation, faced an unexpected hurdle. Despite a strong track record and numerous completed finance agreements, their pre-approved funding for a Bobcat Skidsteer Loader was pulled by a major bank due to the impacts of COVID-19, leaving the business without critical equipment for their operations.

The Challenge

After losing a key contract during the pandemic, the client’s financial position took a temporary hit. Despite securing new tenders that promised future income, traditional lenders focused on the recent setback and refused to move forward with the funding. With a machine already delayed 10 months in transit, the client needed immediate financing to put the equipment to work and start generating revenue again.

The Solution

Jake turned to Iron Capital for a flexible and pragmatic financing solution. Understanding the client’s proactive measures to manage cash flow and the opportunities tied to their new tenders, Iron Capital quickly assessed the situation and approved funding for the Bobcat Skidsteer Loader.

Iron Capital’s efficient process delivered the results the client needed:

  1. Quick Evaluation: After receiving a simple application form with key details, Iron Capital approved the funding in just three hours.

  3. Timely Delivery: The swift approval allowed the client to confidently proceed with the loader, ensuring the equipment was ready to generate income immediately.

The Outcome

Thanks to Iron Capital’s fast and flexible approach, the client secured the Bobcat Skidsteer Loader and was able to capitalize on the new tenders they had won. The machine now plays a critical role in helping the business rebuild and grow following the challenges of the pandemic.
