What Stratus Building Solutions owners call about
Net-30 and net-60 clients
Offices, schools and medical buildings rarely pay at once, but cleaning crews and supplies are paid weekly.
Landing bigger contracts
A master that wins a large building needs staff and support in place before the first invoice.
Unit equipment
Floor machines, carpet extractors and backpack vacuums wear out and decide how many buildings a team can handle.
Growing the territory
Masters selling more unit franchises need sales staff, training space and marketing ahead of the fees.
Fastest fit for each Stratus Building Solutions need

| Auto-scrubber for a new grocery account | Equipment financing | Equipment quote |
| Staffing up for a large contract | Working capital | Contract and start date |
| Master sales and support hire | Business loan | Hiring plan |
| Supplies across many buildings | Line of credit | Supplier invoices |
Master or unit: how the review differs
Stratus runs a two-tier system. Masters hold an exclusive territory, sell unit franchises and obtain commercial cleaning contracts that unit owners service. That gives a master recurring income from unit fees and royalties, while a unit's income comes from the buildings it cleans. Both depend on commercial clients who pay on terms.
Merchant Fund Express reads whichever business is applying on its own deposits. A master's file usually centers on contract billing and support costs; a unit's on equipment and crew payroll.

A Stratus Building Solutions file, start to finish (hypothetical)
A Stratus unit owner is offered a second office building that doubles nightly square footage. They need an auto-scrubber, a backpack vacuum set and two more cleaners for the first six weeks before the client's net-45 payment arrives, and ask for $28,000. A specialist could finance the equipment and cover the wage gap with working capital.

Owner questions, answered
Can both master and unit Stratus franchisees apply?
Yes. Each applies under its own business, with its own bank statements. Say which tier you operate.
My commercial clients pay on net 30 or longer. What fits?
Invoice factoring or a line of credit turns slow-paying invoices into working cash.
Can I finance floor and carpet equipment?
Yes. Send the quote. Cleaning equipment at an operating business is a routine request.
How fast will I get an answer?
Usually within 2–4 hours on a complete file, with same-day funding available. No tax returns to apply.
