Use Caution with Alternative "Instant" Lenders

Add caption










Advice to business owners of struggling companies in the printing and graphic communications industry: start now to wean off loans tied directly to your business checking account. The daily cash grind inherent to distressed businesses will be more lethal. These loans now have strings-attached, but in bad times, the strings will feel more like rope for the unprepared. The likes of Kabbage, On Deck, and a myriad of other alternative lenders did not exist in the last economic downturn. They will pose an existential threat when the next credit crunch arrives, as the very nature of the debtor-creditor relationship is altered by the prevalence of daily or weekly payment and auto-debit tied to these loans.
