Now the company has the statistics showing where each person is coming from. For the first time, they can be confident in the actions taken to improve their conversion.

Roofing and Restoration Services
Alliance has a $2MM business that makes money in chaos. They clean up after storms. They wanted a credit line for growth after 5 years of banking at a major bank. It took only 5 minutes for that bank to deny their request for a $100K line because one of the owners credit wasn’t perfect. Concept Equity Group recast their forecasts and financials and found two community banks that offered a line of credit. They accepted a line of credit for up to $500K with one of the community banks.
