I save my clients time and money regarding their cash flow issues. As a broker and cash flow strategist I have 3 goals. First, I listen to my clients to understand their unique business needs. And then I match them to the best cash flow resource to support their long-term growth. These resources range from PO funding to invoice factoring to bank line-of-credit. Second, I negotiate the best deal, getting the highest advance and lowest rate on PO funding and invoice factoring. Third, I teach them the "tricks" for minimizing their discount rate. I love what I do as a broker, because I interact with so many different kinds of businesses and so many kinds of people. It's the best feeling in the world to help a new or struggling company grow and prosper.
