We are seeking a $300k short term bridge loan. We closed on the acquisition of an auto body shop on 5/15/2025 and have run into a short-term working capital crunch. This is due to a few issues: poor turnover from the sellers, ARs going to the sellers, a 6-8 week production schedule, and insufficient working capital to get through the turnover. We're now short of cash to fund operations and debt service over the next ~60 days. We are confident in the long-term prospects of the business and are working hard to implement a sound growth strategy, we just need a some runway to execute.
