Luminar Media Group, Inc. (OTCMARKETS: LRGR), a fintech company specializing in capital and financial services for underserved businesses, has announced its forecast for robust growth in the fourth quarter of 2024. The company, through its subsidiaries FortunCo and Fortun Advance, expects to build upon its strong performance in Q3 2024 with projected increases across key financial metrics.
According to the forecast, Luminar Media Group anticipates a significant 45% increase in funding volume, rising from $1,138,000 in Q3 to $1,650,000 in Q4 2024. Revenue is projected to grow by 32%, from $307,211 to $407,550, while total assets are expected to increase by 26%, reaching $2,430,000 by the end of Q4.
The company’s subsidiary, Fortun Advance, has been a driving force behind this growth. Since its acquisition by Luminar Media Group in May 2024, Fortun Advance has demonstrated impressive financial performance. As of September 30, 2024, its total assets stood at $1,926,507, including $498,226 in cash and $1,428,281 in receivables.
Gianinna Nicoletti, Vice President of Operations for Fortun Advance, expressed confidence in the company’s trajectory, stating, ‘The momentum we’ve built in just a few short months highlights our strategic approach to supporting the small business community. Our tailored funding solutions have been instrumental in their success.’
The projected growth is particularly significant given the current economic landscape. Small businesses, which generate over $800 billion annually in the U.S. economy, are experiencing a surge in numbers. This trend underscores the importance of accessible funding solutions for entrepreneurs, especially those from underserved communities.
Yoel Damas, President of Luminar Media Group, emphasized the company’s strategic positioning: ‘Fortun has positioned itself as a crucial partner for small businesses, offering flexible, revenue-based funding solutions that are essential for their growth. With many entrepreneurs facing challenges in accessing traditional financing, Fortun’s commitment to providing accessible funding has strategically placed it in this underserved market.’
The company’s focus on Latino and minority-owned businesses aligns with the growing diversity in the small business sector. By providing tailored financial solutions, Luminar Media Group aims to empower these businesses and contribute to broader economic growth.
As part of its strategic growth plan, Luminar Media Group has initiated the process of rebranding to Fortun Corp, including a change in its stock symbol. This move reflects the company’s evolving identity and its commitment to its core financial services business.
The projected funding volume trajectory shows a steady month-over-month increase, with October, November, and December 2024 expected to reach $550,000, $600,000, and $650,000 respectively. This consistent growth pattern suggests a strong market demand for Fortun’s services and a solid foundation for future expansion.
While these projections paint an optimistic picture, it’s important to note that they are subject to various market risks and uncertainties. The company has stated that the financial data presented is preliminary and may be adjusted following a review by independent accountants.
For investors and industry observers, Luminar Media Group’s forecast provides insight into the growing alternative lending market for small businesses. The company’s performance in the coming months will be closely watched as an indicator of both its own potential and the broader trends in fintech and small business financing.
As Luminar Media Group looks towards 2025, its focus on innovation and customer service in the underserved small business market positions it for potential continued growth. The company’s performance in Q4 2024 will be a critical benchmark for assessing its long-term prospects in this dynamic sector.
