Im Confused
As I see all these posts and comments showing hate towards Yellowstone I find it confusing. Yellowstone like it or not has helped all of us earn more money. I started in this industry over a decade ago when you only had firsts and had to wait for a guy to be 50% paid off in order to fund. Without the stacking deals much less money would be earned and alot more marketing would be spent. Im sure YS will get thru this. Every year we hear about regulation coming but it never does. The best way to regulate this industry is from within. Filter out the predatory Lenders and Brokers. Good Luck to everyone reading this. Lets make alot of money and keep this industry going as long as we can !!!

i'm going to start using the the term predatory for everything... i paid for a predatory cup of coffee the other day 5 dollars for some espresso, got me.. got a predatory slice of pizza too for 5 dollars, i was too hungry should have ate breakfast... paid for some predatory sneakers 220 dollars, damn... predatory tshirts are going for 50-75 dollars a piece now... man i'm just a CONSUMER .... AG should be going after these businesses for predatory products... when you're in business you are held to a higher standard... it's kill or be killed, sell or be sold... all the stuff going on is not about predatory lenders or usury rates, it's about over aggressive collection tactics and fraudulent docs...

whatever the reason be, everyone needs to figure out how they plan to stay in business when COJ's are no longer able to be used.

Haha. To me, presenting a COJ to a merchant was a lot like a police officer notifying a a victim’s family of a death. The first ones were so uncomfortable, but after that it became so routine.
With that having been said, I think in the past 3 years I’ve only had 2 people turndown offers because of a COJ. One of them asked me some really good questions, one of which is: “what are the triggering events, in detail”?

the press has had its effects, the last few deals merchant's asked us if a COJ was necessary.

as a broker, you really can't answer that question because you have no idea what YSC or any other coj funder really will do in their collections. you can try and explain as best as possible, but, now knowing merchants banks have been drained, will you continue to push cojs?

That’s a tough one. I always felt the competitive advantage I had was speed getting offers from funders that offer exclusivity and no COJs. Felt that if my offer didn’t have a COJ, but the other brokers did, I would most likely win the deal. So I try to stay as far away from COJs as possible. Really, I try to stay away from MCAs as a whole. But when you have files that are obvious MCA fits its hard not to place them - even with COJ funders.
Knowing what I know now, will I still place merchants with YSC and others? Yep. But I’m going to explain what’s at stake with much more clarity. I’m also going to explain that a triggering event isn’t clear, so the best way to avoid issues is to stay in communication with the funder. At that point they have to make a decision on what’s best for them.

I hear you. Don’t get me wrong, my focus has never been solely in the MCA space. I always focus elsewhere, but the MCA tool is a very valuable one to have. Businesses get caught with their pants down every now and then and need a quick $100k. Take away MCAs and some of these guys would be missing payroll.
