- This product is dispersed between on average 4 - 6 credit cards.

Unsecured Term Loan(s):

- Term Loans: Interest rates range from 6% - 21% on approved credit.

- 3, 5, or 7 year terms

- No Prepayment penalties

- Estimated monthly payment is 2% of loan amount

Do you require a personal guarantee with unsecured financing?

Yes since we are dealing with unsecured financing, there is a higher risk to the lender. The lenders do require a personal guarantee. But this is much better than tying your home or car to a loan. With a secured loan you risk losing the asset your loan is tied to. We work with over 350 banks and lenders who all personally guarantee the loan. Even if a loan is in a business's name, it will still be personally guaranteed. This won't show up on their personal credit report unless they default.

Do you require any collateral to secure funding?

No, we only offer unsecured loans and unsecured lines of credit.

Do you have a requirement for minimum years in business?

No

Do you accept stated income/stated assets?

Just based on a client's personal credit, we can secure a certain amount of funding in just revolving lines of credit.

We can do a non-verifiable income loan, but it's difficult because often a client has already maxed out or has above 45% credit utilization on their cards. They need to pay these cards down in order to receive revolving lines of credit. Because many clients can't pay down their cards, we ask for their income.

How long does it take to optimize my personal credit?

This depends on the individual on a case by case basis. Some clients face more challenges than others so the amount of time can vary. With that being said, The worst client profiles cant last 6 months in our system. So we like to underpromise and over deliver and set the expectation of 6 months, however, the business profile should and will be optimized simultaneously. The license for the business software is for 1 full year. Every client will have access to the business success system for 1 full year. So you are covered for 1 full year for inquiry removal, personal credit optimization, business coaching and zero out of pocket financing.

What type of accounts do you specialize in as far as removals?

There hasn't nor will it ever be an account that we can't get removed.

How much does your service cost?

Our service fees are custom to the needs of the individual business owner. For instance, someone can take the pre qualification scan and have pre qualifications and we will get them funded with no money out of pocket.
