Ever wonder how the companies that are ineligible for SBA funding, or get turned down by the SBA lender find the money they need anyway?

From what are called alternative lenders.

We have tracked the increase in the number of alternative small business lenders over the past years. Usually, alternative lending was reserved to classify account receivables lenders and factors.

However today, there’s a whole new breed of companies popping up that are making small business loans and that are providing ancillary services to small businesses. They have are becoming serious competitors to brick and mortar small business lenders.

The share of business lending controlled by commercial banks has been slowly shrinking for the past 30+ years. And that trend is likely to accelerate with the onslaught of these new, innovative lending strategies and lenders that are chiseling away at bank market share.

This webinar will provide a broad survey of where business loans and customers are either being diverted or finding new funding sources to meet their business objectives.

You will learn:

How the Google enabled new competitors for your loan business
Why the web might be a natural enemy of your bank
Different categories of loan competitors and how they are getting your prospects
How the prospect down the street got a loan from a bank on the other side of the country
Old lenders who’ve developed new habits
New lenders who you never heard coming (and aren’t really aware of what they do)
Non-bank financial services company who’s already arranged $1 billion of financing
Innovative lender checking borrower’s Yelp scores as well as credit scores
Secret ammunition used to erode the market in front of you – data.
Factors for the retail business you think is your customer
Why you should be aware of where your clients borrow
Strategies you can employ to level the playing field

This webinar is rated “INTERMEDIATE” for all attendees.
