A stylist leaving a booth-rental arrangement in Marion wanted to open her own studio near Thomas Park. She needed $85,000 for build-out, six styling stations, and three months of operating reserves. We packaged twelve months of 1099 income, a two-year lease with a landlord contribution, and a 680 credit score into an equipment financing deal that closed in three weeks. The lender held a lien on the chairs and sinks, avoiding a blanket UCC filing that would have blocked future hair salon loans.
