Gerber Finance Inc. announced the funding of a $2.5 million credit line to Rasta Imposta, a wholesaler of Halloween costumes based in Runnemede, NJ.

"When Rasta’s current lender decided it did not want to be in a seasonal business, Gerber stepped up to be the lender, but more importantly, to be the partner of Rasta Imposta.  Gerber took the time to understand the seasonality and the financing requirements.  This was a pleasant surprise for ownership that had been through some difficult relationships over the past few years.  Gerber proved to be the trusted partner that Rasta Imposta was searching for to help grow the business,"  said Robert Berman, principal of Rasta Imposta.
