Good. In my opinion, the industry has it backwards. ISO's should be paid out at different milestones in the deal instead of all at once upfront. This would ensure mutual success between the funder and the broker.

I agree with this entirely. Even though it goes against my personal interests the incentives are totally misaligned in this industry and most brokers could quite literally could not care less about the merchant many times and will stack em till there cooked. If you are syndicating your deals you should be getting paid out as the deal pays in my opinion. If you are syndicating you should get more leeway about getting paid commission upfront.
