How a Short Term Business Loan Helped a Mobile Pet Grooming Business Expand it’s Operations

It’s been more than two years since Jocelyn has been running a successful mobile pet grooming service. She had managed to establish a loyal clientele with a strong team well adept with pet grooming on their own without her supervision or guidance. Amid the pandemic, her business significantly boomed because people were unable to take their pets to the groomers since most of those shops had closed; and there she was, taking her service to their doorstep.

With everything on track, she felt it was the right time to expand her business. Set up a brick and mortar pet parlour alongside her mobile business and increase the number of vehicles she owned for the service. The only problem was cash; where would she get the money? After exploring multiple loan options online, she felt it best to apply for short term business loans. Accordingly, she reached out to us. Here are the options that we presented her.

Since Jocelyn was in a hurry to access the funds and get approval as fast as possible; here were the options before her:

  • Unsecured Business Loans: A popular choice among small business owners who did not have an asset to peg against the loan amount. It would allow Jocelyn to avoid a time-consuming documentation process and get her fast approval and access to the funds for her business needs. Since there was no need for collateral, she would not have to worry about risking the asset.
  • Business Overdraft: The second option that we offered her was a business overdraft, which would be attached to the bank account that she used for her business. There would be a monthly interest based on the amount withdrawn from the account for business expenses. She could use it for covering day-to-day expenses and establishing a working capital.
  • Equipment Finance: Since she was planning to buy grooming equipment and vehicles for the business, we offered her equipment finance as a viable option.

After going through all three options, Jocelyn found unsecured business loans and equipment finance most suitable for her needs. But, after due consideration, she chose an unsecured business loan because that was what she needed at the moment to jumpstart the expansion.

At that moment, her priority was to expand her business and establish a permanent salon for her furry clients and their parents. Buying vehicles would be the second tier of her business expansion project, which would come later.

Accordingly, she connected with us and made her requirements clear. Once done with the primary consultation, all she had to do was to wait as we matched her with the right lender who offered her lucrative loan term and rate. Believe it or not, thanks to her good credit history, even with minimal documentation, she got approval in 24 hours and received the funds in 2 days.

These days, she is focussing on turning her business dream into a reality, all thanks to the unsecured short term business loan she secured through Broc Finance.
