"Funding in 7 days? I thought it was impossible, especially after getting my applications declined by my local bank and other companies. I am forever grateful that National Business Capital was able to help me when I needed it the most. You guys are the best. It was a pleasure working with you."-Gina, Hawaii-Retail

"A medical loan from National Business Capital allowed us to purchase new equipment which has helped us dramatically since our existing equipment needed to be replaced. I will never forget what you did for my practice. You were great. Everything was explained to me in detail and I could not have asked for more in a company." -Dr. Anderson, California-Medical

  

"I was having difficulty at my local bank obtaining an SBA loan to acquire an additional practice. National Business Capital was very knowledgeable and straight to the point. They told me what documentation I needed upfront and made the process a smooth one. I was able to get my SBA and open my practice much sooner than I expected. Thank you." -Dr. Ryder, New York-Dental 

"I just wanted to thank National Business Capital for helping us with our cash advance. It was great working with your entire staff. The entire team was extremely personable, knowledgeable and quick to respond to any questions or little hurdles that came up. We still can’t believe your replenish department was able to get us additional cash twice in the matter of months. We look forward to a longstanding relationship with you guys! Thanks again." -Denise and Jim, North Carolina-Restaurant

 "I was not comfortable with cash advance programs like this at first. I mentioned to a fellow colleague in the area that I was having some difficulty obtaining a business loan and that my application was pending for 3 weeks at my bank and then unfortunately got declined. He told me the terms he was able to get through them and I thought he was just boasting until I actually called them. I took his advice and I’m so glad that I did. The cash advance program was explained to me in full detail. The only question I had was “can they get me the money as fast as the said they would?” They had that question answered for me in 5 days when I checked my bank account Friday morning. I just can’t believe that National Business Capital was able to get me the money I needed, while the bank I have been doing business with for 12 years was not able to help. I know I can count on your staff in the future." -Dr. Chong, Ohio-Medical

How To Beat The January Business Blues

It is well known that the month of January can be a difficult one for many people in their personal lives, but did you know that the "January Blues" can affect a business as well?  National Business Capital has researched the many ways a business might be affected by the January slow down.  We offer the following advice given by business owners and experts.

The months leading up to the holidays are, for many businesses, extremely hectic.  Pressure for high sales may felt by employees across the board.  In addition to sales pressure, many additional year end tasks need to be completed.  Many business owners and employees work long hours and extra days to successfully get through the holiday season.  Once the season is over, a certain let down my be felt.

The sales are over.  The decorations are taken down and placed in storage. The holiday parties have come and gone.  For some businesses, January means long hours of inventory. The days are shorter and colder and many people feel they have little time for leisure activities.  All of this can have a negative impact on employee (and business owner) morale.

One suggestion we were given is to look at January as a time to better your business self.  Since this is typically a slow business time, take the opportunity to attend professional seminars or classes.  Go to some of those networking events that you always mean to attend, but somehow never find the time to. Bring speakers into the office to further your employees education.

While November and December focused greatly on your customers, why not take some time in January to place focus on your employees?  Again, with this typically being a slow time for business, plan some team building activities and/or employee appreciation events. Depending upon the size of your company, you may spend one on one time with each employee or department. 

January is also a good time to review your expenses.  A great way to boost your own morale is to find some areas where you can save some money.  Look at your phone and internet service as well as health insurance and price competitors.  Review all independent services such as accountant, copy service, mailing/shipping.  Be mindful of contracts and termination fees and plan when will be the best time to make changes.

Connect with your customers.  Depending upon the size and type of business, this may mean reaching out in different ways.  Send an email blast and ask for suggestions of what your customers would like to see in the coming year.  If possible, make personal contact with your clients to help them feel connected to you.  Offer special loyalty discounts/programs.


National Business Capital wants to help you feel motivated to make 2012 your best year yet!  Hopefully these suggestions will help!
