Your chances of getting approved for small business financing relies on many factors.<\/span><\/p>\n

So many moving pieces can frustrate business owners, particularly when a loan rejection comes with no explanation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately for Shannon Deamer, attention to detail and a focus on customer satisfaction are traits that she shares with Become!<\/span><\/p>\n

After Shannon obtained business funding through Become\u2019s online lending marketplace, we wanted to catch up to see how her experience with our services compared with other routes to business financing and how Become was able to help her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what she had to say…<\/span><\/p>\n\n

How did you envision your business?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Shannon is the proud Founder and CEO of <\/span>The Deamer Group<\/span><\/a>, a direct-hire search firm that provides an innovative solution to help job-seekers and businesses fill their employment needs. She was set on distinguishing her business from other job recruiting agencies, which are oftentimes characterized as \u2018sharks\u2019 for forcing people into positions they\u2019re not fit for.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Deamer Group has proven to be unique in its industry, namely as a result of its dedication to placing the quality of service and the customer\u2019s interests ahead of making a quick buck.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\"The<\/p>\n\n

Shannon envisioned a business that brought honesty and integrity into the mix, instead of simply focusing on making money through placing job-seekers at any available position. As she explained to us, employers frequently find it difficult to choose the right candidates to fill roles in their businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her goal was to introduce a new approach that helps turn those tough choices into good choices for both the employers and the job-seekers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

A match made in business heaven<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Deamer Group\u2019s commitment to the client\u2019s interests resonates very strongly with the way that Become operates as well. The founders of Become are aware of the inefficiencies and imbalances that exist in certain parts of the lending market, and so dedicated themselves to giving small business owners the means and methods to find their best funding ‘match’ as well as improve their approval odds when <\/span>applying for additional financing<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Business owners who apply for financing through Become are granted a level of transparency in the lending process that\u2019s unprecedented throughout the industry. The <\/span>advanced technology<\/span><\/a> that allows Become to provide those unique insights is also used to match businesses with the optimal funding solution, precisely tailored to their profile and needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having my information transferred to relevant lenders made the process easier because, once those lenders got in contact with me, I knew they had everything they needed to determine whether my business was fundable.<\/p>\n

– Shannon Deamer, Founder & CEO of The Deamer Group<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Similarly to The Deamer Group, the solutions developed by Become present advantages to both the small business owner and the lender. It\u2019s no wonder why Shannon told us that if she were to sum up her experience with Become in two words, they\u2019d be \u201cIt works\u201d!<\/span><\/p>\n\n

How did Become help turn Shannon’s vision into reality?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before discovering <\/span>Become<\/span><\/a>, Shannon had applied to a number of online lenders. After several attempts, she realized that her application wasn\u2019t just getting rejected, but those lenders also neglected to give her any real reason why or any sort of indication as to what she needed to work on to get approved in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast, Shannon told us that from the beginning, she had a feeling that Become wouldn\u2019t be another letdown. When we caught up with her, she informed us that \u201cso far it seems to be moving [in] a positive direction, and I really appreciate what you guys have helped me achieve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
