If you’ve ever needed more money (who hasn’t?), then you are among a majority of business owners. Approximately one-half to two-thirds of young, small businesses — defined as those with less than 499 employees — use capital injections, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Advocacy in a February 2014 report. What’s more, not being able to obtain capital has profound implications for the ability of certain businesses to expand, the report noted.
Many dealer programs are available to security dealers, including account purchasing programs that can help infuse capital into the business. Flexible new options allow dealers to gain capital without sacrificing long-term equity.
As 2013 begins, new options for account purchasing via dealer programs can help companies meet financial and operational challenges in the industry. An option that could see a lot of activity in 2013 is the ability to get funding for new accounts without actually selling the contracts — or to sell accounts based on need, rather than selling 100 percent of one’s customer accounts and leaving no equity or recurring monthly revenue (RMR) in the business.
