After dealing with multiple funding companies, this is the only company that presented me an offer with no pressure or false promises. Every other company I spoke with said they could beat Credibly’s offer, but most fail short. This was my second round of funding with Credibly and they are by far the most straightforward merchant cash advance company that I could find. Wherever you go, working capital is expensive and it can be exhausting with all the calls. A lot of other companies I had to report for shopping my information around and pulling my credit without consent. Credibly presented me an offer and allowed me to breath while I made a choice I could only make for my business. Not once did they ask for other companies offers. I am hoping to not need any other cash advances in the future, but this will be the only place if I do.”
Mick Sibinovic is a man of his word. He is very responsive, informative & persistent!! He made me feel like more than just a number, which is why even with multiple other offers I still chose to go with credibly. I reached out first a couple months back and after he diligently worked hard to get me the best funding options, I turned it down. He welcomed me back with open arms this time around. Not only is he partnering with me on a short term strategy but a long term strategy as well. I’m excited to see where my business will go & grow with the help of Mick.”
I run a small business and have utilized multiple other lenders for capital as needed. This is my second time funding with Credibly. Mr. Andrew Jasina did an outstanding job in laying out options for funding. He addressed my questions and was able to find a solution that fit our needs. If you or anyone you know is looking for capital, I would strongly recommend speaking with Andrew @ Credibly.”
