There have been a lot of great points made on this thread, from KTK's point to JoTuck, everyone has made some really great points. But at the end of the day (in my opinion) it really comes down to two things. 1. There are enough options out there that you don't need to have your credit pulled to work with someone who gives the best approvals. 2. It is a personal comfort thing, as much as they want check me out as an ISO it's none of their business if I am behind on my student loans etc bc that doesn't make me a better or worse ISO/broker/rep.
My reputation as someone who follows ethical business practices will carry the day and make me successful in this space, regardless of if I went into default on a CC while I was at university.

I've read all of the articles bashing this or that alternative lender and it's "unsavory" characters. But in my opinion, you do enough digging in any industry you can pull up all the same stories about employees that have been hired. This article was lazy journalism to fill the required word count and make a check. Nothing more nothing less.

I think the idea behind a personal CBR is to seek a pattern of financial fitness. Obviously, if someone has some issues here and there, that's life, but a CBR can also expose other issues, like judgments from other lenders for example. I remember a scenario in which I was doing a corp-only equipment lease for a company, and at the last stage, it was necessary to pull the principal's credit, just to verify there were no red flags. Turned out he had a half million dollar judgment from another leasing company he had defaulted on 3 years ago under a different business entity, so it did not appear on the D&B or Lexis Nexis. Same goes here. Just because an ISO has had some credit issues in the past shouldn't preclude, but if they are a garden variety deadbeat, they shouldn't be advising business owners on financial matters.

Major difference, a stock broker would (hopefully) only be working for one broker = one credit pull. An ISO might want to have funding relationships with multiple lenders focusing on different credit quality = multiple credit pulls. Bottom line for my firm, as has been suggested above, if you require personal credit pull we will refer our prospects elsewhere. Plenty of funders still don't require personal credit. Ironically, the lender that insists on the personal credit authority in their application (although they insist they won't pull it?) aggressively markets to ISOs on this site. I can't get past the integrity issue -- why do you require the authority if you won't pull my credit?

someone who doesn't pay his bills you will never get the clawback if the deals goes bad . not sure if that even plays a role . the bigger thing is the judgment of character .
they should let you be able to pull your own credit so it doesn't look like you are looking for money .
also you can block your credit from being pulled and just sign as they are saying they wont pull it

Equipment Leasing Groups have always required a background on the ISO/Vendors, Many MCA Shops are now seeking backgrounds.

Lender Requiring ISO Owner's Personal Credit Report
Factor finder, are you out of Ohio.
You raise an excellent point about the integrity of the lender. The lender seems to be misrepresenting their position about pulling the reports. I would be wary of dealing with them.
There's an old adage in the collection arena, a debtor is a debtor is a debtor etc.
This may be a liar is a liar is a liar etc.

Would you accept the same line of reasoning from a restaurant seeking a cash advance? If anything, a restaurant with 100k of kitchen equipment has a far better argument than your class c office space with a couple IP phones (and even if your shop is more sophisticated than that, the next guy's won't be).
Sometimes you can get the requirement waived if you're a credible shop with an established reputation. If not, some people may be weary of doing business with you, especially in an industry known for fraud and sleeze

I fully support the pulling of the credit reports. We don't want to turn into many in the "credit repair" industry who sell services on how to fix your credit, but their credit is run of the mill.
We are in the business of selling lending and credit services, why would we want to not focus on fixing our credit profiles? Just makes no sense to me, but then again a lot of things don't make sense to me with our industry at times, especially seeing as though people can be bought in without even a background/criminal record check being ran, and these people are out here collecting SSNs, DOBs, Tax Returns and Financials.
Lord knows how many guys are out there on the phones right now, collecting SSNs, Bank Accounts and Financials of merchants who are convicted felons. That is scary as hell to me.

"My reputation as someone who follows ethical business practices will carry the day and make me successful in this space, regardless of if I went into default on a CC while I was at university."
Perhaps at that university you studied the Zulus Vs the British?

if you ARE behind on your student debt (though I would be surprised to hear that form YOU andy) you might make a GREAT ISO,....because you are hungry and in need of cash
If you are living off of your trust fund or bahmitvah money, how aggressive are you really going to be?

I could have phrased my argument better, I didn't mean to suggest that the quality of your office space is relevant... The point i was trying to make is that it's very easy to throw up an ISO and tear it down. OP felt that his credit was irrelevent because he had an LLC with employees... if you don't accept that logic from your merchants, why should funders accept it from you?
