I'm looking for a website (or some sort of listing) which rates small
business factoring brokers. Here are the specifics:
* "Factoring" is a form of accounts receivable financing
* A "small business factoring broker" is an individual or business
which works with small businesses (under $5 million in revenues) to
help then find the best factoring company to meet their needs. The
broker is typically paid a commission by the factoring company.
I'm looking for a website which is a sort of "Zagat's" for factoring
brokers. That is, it lists a bunch of brokers and allows small
businesses to rate them according to their satisfaction level, and
then displays those ratings as well as contact information for the
brokers. Ideally, the website would also list the specialty of the
factoring broker, and any other information that would be helpful in
assessing their expertise.
The reason I want this information is that our company would like to
establish a relationship with one or two factoring brokers to refer
small businesses to, but we want to find a couple of high quality
brokers to work with. The website is simply the best way I can think
of to do a quality assessment, however, I'm open to other suggestions.
Naturally, I'm looking for some website or system that compiles the
input of several hundred small businesses (at least) in evaluating the
various factoring brokers. If I were pointed to a website which just
compiled the feedback of 50 to 100 small businesses, I'm not sure it
would be a valuable resource. But, again, if there were some other
way to achieve our high level objective with high quality information,
I'm open to it. |
