Have an unusual deal for someone here, has to be a good rate...

Merchant is a breeder of award winning German Shepards. They are bred and trained to be personal security animals (PSAs). Some of the dogs have gone for as much as $20,000 per animal. In prior years he says he won the "golden paw" award 2 times for producing the best behaved animals in his region of the US - South East.

Been in business for 11.5 years and was trained as an apprentice outside of Duzeldorf by master trainer Hans Gruber for 3 years prior. Merchant is an American citizen as of 6 months ago has SSN etc.

Has at least $3k in the bank at all times, and excellent credit 650+, but is looking for funding so he can take some of his non-performing animals to an auction in east Asia that will take a week. He’s budgeted his needs at about $11k for the trip for him and the dogs.

Anyways his business is very very spotty in terms of cash flow as some months he can make $50k and other months $0. He is even willing to collateralize his animals though as they are business property, they should be free and clear of liens.

He and his wife also sell chicken and ostrich eggs that have been painted with dog themed imagery on etsy, but that is separate cash flow and not under same company but does bring them in $2-3k per month just FYI.

Anyone willing to take a bite?
