One of their reps calls me everyday of the week. Can anyone tell me if they are in fact direct lenders? They've got an Under 600 Fico term loan product that I like, but I want to be sure they are not some broker front before I engage in communication with them. Looks like they are out of Auburndale NY.

Thanks!

I'd call them and ask specifically who they are backed by and what licenses they have on file. They have claimed to be backed by a "billionaire".

[Sean Cash]

I'm pretty sure they're just an ISO.

Sean,

Please advise no where on any of these forums or emails or texts have we EVER advertised that we are a Direct Lender no have we ever implied that. Our approach is to simply have the opportunity to turnaround tough to do files or declines. We get referrals from CPA.Business brokers and MCA shops. Like any service were not going to be 100% with 100 percent of the people everytime. We've have upfront and transparent in our approach.

Thanks Sean and HDF.

If they are calling you...and more than once, chances are 90-99% they are an ISO

They called my a few weeks ago and the rep could not tell me anything other than "this amazing term loan for businesses going out to 10 years". They claimed to be a direct lender but everything about them screams broker... they could not even tell me what they needed for a submission...

[JHausen]

We are not a direct lender. But people benefit from our services. Each submission is customer tailored to a different lending product some are asset based some require more financials some are credit heavy. Im sure the person that reached out to was cordial and respectful I apologize if they did not address your concern and yes we are not a direct lender but our services are a bit more detailed than being a broker.

You should ask them what they do with a file if it's declined? Do they send out to other "partners", or does the file simply die there? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with sending out to partners (YSC practically does it for a living), but being transparent about it would give you a better idea of how much of a Direct Funder they really are. Ask how often they approve vs. how often they "send to their partner."

[JHausen]

Nobigdeal we are not a direct lender nothing on our website implied this. Now we can like so many other shops out there get a white label contract and claim direct lender status, but we dont. We're improving everyday, refining our systems and discovering new products and platforms. It's not about what people can do already, it's what they dont have the time to do or what resources they have exhausted in regards to getting an approval. But thank you for providing the voice of reason. And yes we care about our reputation so we will valiantly defend it. If we're wrong about something, we admit and try to correct it. Thats what any growing company should do. But I cannot let this thread go unanswered in regards to anyone implying that we posed ourselves as direct lenders that is categorically false.

[HDF]

I've visited them (which I am often apt to do). As always, just ask a few questions that's all. I don't have a firm opinion on them.

[Sean Cash]

They have been on this forum shopping out deals trying to find direct lenders to broker deals to. Here's one example: http://dailyfunder.com/showthread.ph...-Consolidation

[JHausen]

Sean while have a lot solutions, we dont have all of them and we just like to hedge ourselves to in regards to getting the best possible scenario and sometimes its about getting a fast turnaround. But again let me reiterate we have never advertised ourselves as a direct lender. Our direct lenders like LQD, WBL and Funding Circle can confirm this.

it was a call from a female , she sounded new . if you would have posted this 3 months ago , i could have given you the recordings .
it is possibly it was a hungry new rep calling all of us and lying not on behalf of the company . but thanks for the honesty

[JHausen]

Micheal,

Anything you to know feel free to inbox me. We're all about coming up with solutions for clients. Its not about a fast buck with us. We feel our time as well as a brokers time is better leveraged in working dead deals or tough to do files. The average turn around for term-loan consolidation is 7 day 2 weeks or even longer a huge difference compared to mca which is hours. Again I thank you for the feedback wishing you a prosperous 4th quarter!!!

[JHausen]

What questions did you ask? Please address them to me. Im sure whoever contacted you was courteous and respectful.

They are brokers

[FundingCzar]

100% broker, supposedly they have a partnership with a funder exclusively or some derivation last time I spoke with them.

That being said I have heard good things about them but the whole "I'm a funder" talk really turned me off, I don't work with them.

Funding Czar: When did we say this? Again, we never represented ourselves this way. We have gotten a lot of hard to do deals done and we're very resourceful in that aspect. There are a lot of things we can improve on without a doubt. We have direct lenders that work with us.

[Christian]

I have submitted multiple deals to them. 100% iso. The got nothing approved. I would advise against using them. They just waste your time and offer very little in the way of unique programs.

Christian,

I apologize you feel that way. We are not a direct lender... at least not yet. But thank you for the valuable feedback. We will revise what happened in the submission process. If you submitted deals to us we thank you and yes you are right your time is valuable that cannot be replaced. If there can be a remedy we will reach out to you.
