The Dream That Almost Closed Its Doors
For chef Maria Alvarez, Luna Verde was more than a restaurant. It was the culmination of a lifelong dream to bring her grandmother’s recipes from Oaxaca to her California community. The bistro was always packed on weekends, with strong and steady sales. But when a sudden spike in rent and supply costs hit in the same month, Maria was left wondering how to keep the doors open.
“I wasn’t failing. The restaurant was full. But I couldn’t cover everything at once. I needed a partner, not a savior.”
The Rescue That Became a Partnership
Maria found Peak Financial, applied in minutes, and had funds the next day. The repayment—linked automatically to her point-of-sale system—meant she could survive the high-cost months without drowning in fixed debt.
Over the next year, she returned for more financing, this time not to survive, but to expand. Peak’s consultants helped her design a catering branch of the business, which soon became one of her most profitable channels.
A Founder’s Connection
Maria says:
“This restaurant is my life. When things got hard, Peak Financial didn’t just give me money—they gave me time and trust. Now, when I think of growth, I think of them right alongside me.”
