Days of Cash
Every small business has a number nobody says out loud: how many days of cash are left. Each episode follows one real local business, like a food truck, a home bakery, a salon or a corner cafe, as that number runs down, and the one decision that kept the lights on (or didn't). It's built only from published records and the owners' own public words, and it ends with what we'd steal from their story.
Hosted by Nell and Hank, performed by synthetic voices. Verified to the FactUnion Standard. Sources are in every episode's notes.

The Door Painted on the Wall
A merchant cash advance says it's a purchase of your future sales, not a loan, and whether that holds up depends on one clause most owners never use.
