Direct Business Lending

Don’t trust this business. They will «sell you a package» and garantee it to get you a business loan. The set up is to have a Jr. Sales rep call you and then setup for a «sr advisor» to call you back. You are talked into signing an agreement which you have to pay even more money to break. You’re asking for a headache and an empty wallet from a business with no bottom line or conscience.

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING. Direct Business Lending contacted me within minutes of my filling out an inquiry for small business lending. A man named Ron was on the phone and he quickly made me feel comfortable by asking me all about my business and assuring me my business would have no problem finding funding. He said they offer a $ 3000 line of credit to their clients and this was to build business credit. I should have picked up on the high pressure sales, but he was «good». He basically made it seem like I had nothing to loose if I paid a one time fee of something like $ 159.83 and since I would receive funding quickly and pay off the line of credit, that’s all I would have to worry about. I had $ 159.83 to gamble so I went for it. I immediately called with concerns. Ron had a rebuttal for everything. I realized I had quickly signed my life away to Special Financing Company in Virginia. Every time I called the support was less and less connected. Different departments would call me and no one actually did anything of value to my business. The «business plan» was totally a template and not at all tailored to my business specifics. The «SEO» and «website critique» was a joke. There was nothing «SEO» related to my website. The «funding» they ended up securing was a third party credit card dealer called Presta Funding who ALSO charged me. They also set me up with Zazma (now called Behalf) who charged me and I can’t even use their service because I’m not a merchant. The only way I can get out of the contract is by paying a fee, and they make it so it’s not worth it. There are 50+ complaints on the BBB. They have made it impossible for me to get out of debt. I have filed a complaint with the FTC.
