The Need
In response to having an need for online presence, the owner wanted to expand business volume by revamping the website and spending more money on SEO.
Financing Solution
After reviewing the business and personal financials of the entrepreneur, Biz2Credit recommended taking a line of credit against the strength of the business and personal credit of the owner.

- Received a line of credit of $300,000 within 30 days
- Received an interest rate of around prime plus 1
Benefits
- Increased the head count from 10 to 50 agents

- Increased annual revenues by over $500,000 from 2006 to 2007

Biz2Credit provided lenders with the personal account records of the entrepreneur, detailing client payments as well as a letter from the accountant proving the company's existence for 22 months.
