with a HUGE GAP in between CAN (Advance Me) and everyone else

thats about right Can had I think 6 or 7 years of the industry all to themselves before MCC, first funds, and a few others starting popping up around 2004-2005

I believe Advance Me, the predecessor to CAN, was around 1990 actually.

I believe Advance Me, the predecessor to CAN, was around 1990 actually.

AdvanceMe, Inc. provides business cash advances and working capital in the United States. It serves small- to mid-sized businesses that process credit card sales. The company was incorporated in 1997 and is based in Kennesaw, Georgia with additional offices in Scarsdale, New York; and San Jose, Costa Rica. AdvanceMe, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Capital Access Network, Inc.

I dont know if they were around in another form, but actually doing split funding deals I think that was 97ish

Not really sure what you mean by that. If you mean the folks who spun out of it, then yes there are a lot of individuals. If you mean the model than I think it is the complete opposite. The majority of the industry seems to now be direct funding companies with their in house sales, then a middle ground of ISOs who syndicate (still not the 2nd Source model), followed lastly by ISOs and independent agents. Hell, ODC alone is doing $150MM/month and their direct sales does 80% of the volume. THat's before you start adding in guys like YSC, MCC, CAN, Fora, etc that have their own direct sales doing big numbers.

Rewards Network was founded in 1984 as Transmedia. They later rebranded as idine and rewards network. They classify themselves today as a merchant cash advance co and marketing services co who targets the restaurant and hospitality sector. At one point, the only players chasing restaurants for capital were idine and advanceme with a few sprinkles of clever ideas and some of the mentioned co above but idine had an edge for awhile with their marketing svc. Ultimately, better rates, not needing to switch processors to obtain an advance, and, the introduction of loans, squeezed rewards networks funding program.

I left out ARF founded in 2001 (they primarily only fund the hospitality sector).
