Rapid Expansion Made Possible for Waterproofing Business

December 5, 2024

Gerald Edme, founder of Shore Water Management Systems, had a vision: to build a waterproofing company that didn’t just fix leaks, but truly protected homes and exceeded customer expectations. With ten years in the industry under his belt, he knew the ins and outs of keeping basements dry and homes protected, but working for someone else wasn’t cutting it. He saw a chance to do things better and offer a level of quality and customer service that was missing in the market. So, in May 2021, he took the plunge and started his own waterproofing company.

Armed with industry expertise and experience as a construction project manager, Gerald was ready to build something special. He quickly assembled a team of talented installers and sales professionals, and business began to boom. As his company grew, so did the need for more space, better equipment, and additional staff.

That’s when Gerald started exploring financing options. He was initially unfamiliar with revenue-based financing, having bootstrapped his business from the start. A friend suggested it as an alternative to traditional loans, but he remained skeptical. He knew how difficult securing funding could be, especially for a relatively new business.

Determined to find the best solution, Gerald dove headfirst into research for a quick and efficient way to access capital. That’s when he discovered Forward Financing. He was immediately impressed with the speed and simplicity of the process. No excessive paperwork or lengthy approval times – just fast, accessible funding.

Within 24 hours of connecting with Forward, Gerald had the capital he needed to expand his business. He secured new office space, invested in essential tools and equipment, and even hired another salesperson, all within one week! The impact was immediate: increased efficiency, improved service delivery, and a boost in revenue.

Gerald is excited to continue growing his business, providing top-notch waterproofing solutions, and creating a lasting legacy in the industry. He’s proof that with passion, dedication, and the right financial partner, even the most ambitious dreams can become a reality.
