Before you do business with anyone heres a few things to look for

Their email. Is a free email like gmail or an actual website. If a gmail run fast.

Their website, is a cookie cutter template with very little content about them? Might be a red flag. Go to https://www.godaddy.com/whois/result...=popcrumbs.com and check their url to see when it was registered, most places fail within a year, if they registered the URL recently, red flag.

Do they accept credit cards/paypal or is it ACH/Wires only? if the bank wont give them a credit card processing account theres a reason why.


This is a tough business, be prepared to fail like this a dozen or more times, even when you find a good lead source you may not have a good funder network to fund those leads, building relationships with funders seems to be a big piece of the puzzle, getting lender A to bend a little to fund your guys is how the big shops move those deals through the pipeline. Just starting out you wont have that juice like they do.

They passed all of those red-flag checks. Legit website, email addresses, time in business. They even passed the "has credibility on the forum" check.

Where I knew I messed up (in hindsight) was the pricing was too low.

If you're going to rip me off make it more expensive so I learn a harder lesson next time.
