Every now and again I come across deals that I can somehow relate to and it's somewhat awkward because it makes me wonder how small and tight-knit the industry actually is.

Yesterday got a deal for a supermarket in Brooklyn, same zip code as where I live so I google map it - it's the market right across the street from my building where I shop all the time. So weird how it landed on my desk, through a sales company in Miami.

Today I was looking through bank statements and saw that the merchant I was reviewing purchases supplies from another merchant I funded a few weeks ago. Wasn't a deal where one merchant referred the other to a MCA, just pure coincidence.

I know the small business industry isn't THAT small, but these types of things really open my eyes to how intertwined we all are.

You got your own little "Credit Bubble" going on there.

Hence the reason why it is ever so important to do a good job and be respectful to ALL prospects, even if you can't help them. Someday, somewhere, somehow, they or a related opportunity will wind up on your desk.

this only proves how much money we're leaving on the table when we don't ask our local business owners who we know and frequent on a daily basis if they need any cash

i had a deal that when i sent the contract to the merchant he asked me if he needs to fax this to me or can i go down 2 flights to give it straight to the lender .
