I had people at 40%...it was a choice, 40% or the business goes under. I have to make the determination if the money will get paid back...and i am using my street smarts and book smarts...and then I am not the finanal decison maker..The Funder is
No matter what anyone says ( not directed at you fundingsmbs) Business get in financial trouble for numerous reason other than them being inept like some of the cash adbance brokers on this site who went out of business yet keep coming back to stir up trouble.
And this isnt a perfect world...some of them have cash or a second business ( structured thinkers saying box and vertical on the phone never really get to know their merchant)
So it comes right down to the nitty-gritty ...no one would take a cash advance EVER not even from A paper if they were in a great position. They wouldn't need a loan or advance.There are numerous legitimate reasons someone would want to stack... a vendor doesn't pay them ...rolling 90-120 days late on collections
Working capital
a hurricane
construction on the road in front of your restaurant, diverting traffic away.
I even had a lady whos town got flooded because the Dam broke.,... I actually sent in the weather papers and the reports to show it actually happened.
* MOst cant find out the real reason they want money( because they are not real salespeople and they are not smart enough to care because it isnt their money) and just say "inventory" "renovation"...meanwhile inventory really meant Mistress, renovation = casino
So now...you think it's unethical for me to get that woman more money? If her business wasnt flooded but just lost foot traffic for 2 weeks?
( I am pre underwriting the files..making MY decision if I want it funded...then telling the funders the crazy stories...they do not even want to know them anymore)
What is unethical is the brokers who can't think out of the box and only think about numbers and have no street smarts. Not smart enough to get down to the real root cause of the issue and determine if this person really deserves more money.
Some can't do it because you are BAD SALESPEOPLE... you think sales is a bad profession ...meanwhile sales = consulting and you will never ever never ever never ever get that idea no matter how many people tell it to you.
This is why I do not hire structured people ( technical is fine)... I can promise you I give this personality test and tell them ( this business will not be for you) for over 30 years ...I will not make an attempt at training them anymore.
Some of us actually work with the funders and lenders and say " this person actually had a dam break and I am not joking what do you want me to do"But I am in contact with the merchants, they like me. It wasn't a wham bam thank you mam ( I do not care that I print this only 5-10 % are going to make it and you cant dent my wallet...big lenders( banks) can dent us all)
Another thing...If the world was perfect I would be of NO VALUE to merchants...stop complaining and find the merchants who need help that will want to talk to you.
This is all flawed logic...if you use someone's logic no one would have a credit card or take out a personal loan or a mortgage from the bank without 20-30% down. And that is not my opinion its a fact
Where is the sell it like ser guy...get him here so he can teach me how to put on a Banna outfit and jump up and down to gain attention in the streetLast edited by Karen37a; 08-23-2018 at 09:08 AM.
