I've seen this happen with two of my clients because of dishonest brokers and I want to share my experiences with you. I typically get a merchant a reverse consolidation if they have a holdback percentage towards MCA's over 25%. For example, I had a merchant with 4 positions, 32% leverage and the reverse got them down to 24% leverage. This typically helps the client operate in the short term and get them out of an overleveraged position.

Lately, dishonest brokers are calling my clients and telling them to take funding out without clearing it with the reverse company. In many cases, these stacks are 60 or 80 day 1.499 factors with 10% fees because those are the only funders who stack a reverse. Immediately the reverse company then stops funding the client and continues taking their daily debit. A client who was down to 24% leverage is now at a holdback above 60% because of the terrible 60-day deal and the large reverse payment with no funding coming in. In both cases, the merchant could no longer afford payments, freaked out because the broker told them it was fine to stack a reverse and did a block payment on everyone.

I know the reverse is a somewhat newer product and I wanted to share my experience because the brokers who are stacking reverses are hurting all the funders and pushing the merchant out of business.

Wow, stuff like that happens!?!?!

Yea its crazy. At least the reverse companies can tell themselves they are actually trying to help the merchant despite all the funders in before them. Stacking a reverse is actually one of the worst things around in my opinion.

The Reverse companies make it clear this is not Okay.
They do Logins prior to every funding, what does the merchant think its for?
