About The Client

Shake’s Frozen Custard, founded by Aaron Osborne in 1991, is a premium dessert company specializing in classic sundaes and concretes. Located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Shake’s is known for its delicious frozen custard blended with various toppings. The business experiences highly seasonal revenue, with most sales occurring in warmer months.

Brett Horn, the Funding Manager, took the time to understand the seasonal cash flow variations and ensured quick and efficient communication throughout the process.
