Purpose of loan:
We started Pacific Imports, Inc. in 1999 and we have grown into a large retail imports operation grossing over $2.5 million per year. Now we are also getting orders for wholesale containers from other companies in the United States.  These wholesale orders are a very welcome new part of the business but presents a short term cash flow problem. We pay our suppliers up front for the containers but we only take a deposit for the containers until they land in port with customs. If we use our operating funds to pay a full container in advance for a customer then it puts us in a short cash position. The funds requested here will be used to pay our supplier for the container, thereby freeing our regular cash flow. A 20 foot container of Antique furniture from our supplier averages $14,000 so this funding covers 100% of 1 container and a deposit on another leaving container making our cash flow situation very easy to handle. So you can learn more about our operations and products our company websites are as follows:

-Good relations, current payback history with our suppliers.
