It’s just been one different set of rules after another for business owners!


Take Jim Cory (owner) who resumed dining service at Jimmy’s Roadhouse in rural Newaygo, MI and now faces a threat by the state health department to revoke his licenses.

Corey complained (rightly so) that the governor “throws up something different every time you turn around.”

The owner said Jimmy’s Roadhouse has been in his family since 1970 and estimates he's lost about $65,000 since mid-March, when the governor told restaurants to close dining rooms and offer only takeout.

Cory says he received a loan from the federal Paycheck Protection Program, he said the money can only be used to pay his employees.

This astute business owner may now be looking at Business Refund for emergency relief for business owners that has no upfront fees.

Tax law provisions are available to help businesses recover financially from the impact of this disaster.

By completing a quick survey, the software will search hundreds of Local, State, and Federal programs that fit their qualifications and help them claim their benefits, often with a check arriving in 3-6 weeks that does not have to be paid back.

Credit Card Audit with no upfront fees and no changing providers?

 



A credit card audit should focus solely on expense reduction within the payments industry and should be a two-phase approach to expense reduction in the payments industry for businesses.  

1. First, correct the processing plan to reflect the most competitive plan type and rate, using formulated, specific asks of the existing provider.  

2. Second, assist the client to further reduce the non-negotiable fees through processing optimization and help qualify payment transactions at lower interchange rates by passing through additional processing data.

The highest success rate for merchants that process credit card transactions are where the card is not physically present. This is referred to as a Card Not Present (CNP) environment, and includes B2B and eCommerce companies.  

Companies processing card payments between $1M and $20M on an annual basis typically have the largest potential savings opportunity.  

For card present locations, where the credit card is physically swiped at a terminal device, there may still be significant savings. As such, those types of merchants should never be overlooked or immediately disqualified.

A no upfront fee credit card audit can performed in seconds at Business Refund.
