What Results Can You Expect To See?

Let's break down each area for a better understanding and how we can identify where potential savings may come from:

1. Credit Card Processing - Most banks and processors have their customers on a 3 tiered structure, meaning they are paying a qualified rate, a mid-qualifieed rate, and a non-qualified rate. Under this type of structure, you only have 3 different pricing categories that you are being billed for, even though the credit card associations ( Visa and MasterCard) have over 200 categories of interchange, which is determined by the customer's card presented at the time of sale, not by you. This is a big area of potential overcharge considering only about 10% of the cards you may receive would be billed at the qualified rate, leaving approximately 90% of your credit card charges in a higher billing status without your knowledge. We will do an in-depth cost comparison with numerous other banks and processors, as well as changing your structure to a cost-plus pricing program, meaning you would now be getting billed the exact amount of interchange plus a small fee for the transactions, thus increasing the savings potential and giving you full kowledge of exactly what you are being billed. This is huge.
2. Gift and Loyalty Card Processing - Almost every business should have this secret weapon in their arsenal. There are so many cost effective ways to use these services to increase customer traffic, cash flow, customer retention, eliminate refunds, and many other profit producing, low cost methods of utilizing these services to gain a competitive edge.
3. Point Of Sale Equipment - Outdated machines can be slow and not read the credit and debit card numbers accurately, costing you money in higher transaction costs to manually enter the numbers into the machine or having customers wait in line too long when they are in a hurry. There are numerous options now available to help you increase sales and lower expenses just from having the right equipment in place. There are even free systems available that have the pinpad built-in and most recently even a free electronic cash register with the credit card swiper built-in.
4. Capital Needs - One area every business owners struggles with at one time or another is getting the additional working capital they need to expand and grow their business. If your business could use more capital, but cannot qualify for a bank loan like most businesses cannot, we will go over some alternatives that will not cost you any money out of pocket, that you can obtain up to $250,000 in as little as 5 to 10 days, even if you have bad credit, liens or judgments, or already been turned down elsewhere. We can show you some creative new ways to get the cash you need for any legitimate business reason, such as expansion, working capital, inventory, repairs, renovations, marketing and advertising, catching up on bills, and anything you may need to run and grow your business.
5. Lease Auditing - This area is of benefit to those businesses who are leasing their space, whether it is a retail storefront, warehouse, office, professional building, free standing building, strip mall, shopping mall, or other leases facility. Lease audits can identify overcharges from improperly measured leased spaces, as well as errors in your company's share of the common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance on the building. These errors occur much more often than not and can add up to thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars in refunds to the business owner and the best part is they can be done by many companies on a contingency fee basis, meaning if they do not uncover any errors, you pay no fee.
6. Cost Segregation - Accounting and tax calculations can be hard to determine accurately, and unless your accountant or cpa has an engineering background, they would not be qualified to find these errors that can add up to a lot of money each and every year. This is mainly for larger companies who own their building and have a commercial loan still remaining.
7. Marketing - Our staff can review and identify areas where the return on your investment may not be worth continuing or help identify ways to increase your customer traffic with fresh new ways that many other successful businesses have found. This could be new, cost-effective internet advertising, in-store promotions, direct mail campaigns, or a number of other cutting edge, non-tradition ways to make your company stand out from the crowd and beat your competitors. 
8. Lead Generation - We have our own lead generation software that we use in-house to grab all the leads we want at will, just with the push of a button. With this powerful lead extractor, you can now get leads for your business in any category, in any U.S. state, at any time, and as many as you can handle.
9. Excess Inventory Liquidation - Most companies have excess inventory at some point that they could use to purchase other more profitable items, such as more leads, advertising, new inventory, etc. We have a network of buyers where we can get you maximum value in the market and get it out of your warehouse or showroom fast.
10. Joint Ventures - One of the ways we can help you most is by getting your business more sales or more clients with greater ease and faster than anything you could ever possibly do on your own. We have the ability to get you connected to thousands of buyers within 30 days without you spending one dime. These revenue streams can be worth 10's of thousands or even a million + to some companies, even if you are a small company.
