Merchant Cash USA Xếp Hạng Phoenix 1 Nơi Trong 25 Thành Phố Hoa Kỳ & Lý Do Để Lấy Tiền Mặt Ứng Trước

Theo nguồn tin trên trang mạng prweb.com Merchant Cash USA, an alternative finance business lender, surveyed individuals across 25 major cities to see what the top reasons were to get a cash advance. Denied a bank loan, needed the money for tax purposes, and for cash flow issues were top purposes cited.

(PRWEB) MARCH 01, 2016 Survey Says Small Business Owners in Major Cities are Optimistic and Looking for Cash Flow. A recent survey by Allstate Insurance Company revealed that now is the time to own a small business. The Allstate Small Business Barometer measured results of 2,640 small business owners across 25 major U.S. cities to see how small businesses felt they were doing. On a national level, 61 percent of small business owners felt successful, while across major cities, most cities rated their business health as “strong” or “solid” in their respective markets. 53 percent of those surveyed stated that now is the best time to be a small business owner, due to expansive technology leading to more clientele and the improving economy. That survey by Allstate prompted Merchant Cash USA to survey small business owners throughout those same 25 major cities, to see if they had ever considered going the alternative financing route (if they hadn’t already), and to see what the top reasons to turn to an alternative lender would be. Merchant Cash USA surveyed 1,847 small business owners throughout U.S. cities through a third-party email and social media campaign. The results of the survey are listed below. Cities are listed in alphabetical order. Each city’s most popular survey response on “Top Reason to Get a Cash Advance” is adjacent. Major Cities and Reasons to Get a Cash Advance (Survey Results of 1,847 respondents) 1. Atlanta – Denied Bank Loan 2. Boston – Renovation 3. Chicago – Taxes 4. Cincinnati – Denied Bank Loan 5. Cleveland – Cash Flow 6. Dallas – Equipment 7. Denver – Inventory 8. Detroit – Renovation 9. Houston – Denied Bank Loan 10. Indianapolis – Advertising 11. Los Angeles – Denied Bank Loan 12. Miami – Opening New Locations 13. Minneapolis – Taxes 14. Nashville – Cash Flow 15. New York – Denied Bank Loan 16. Orlando – Inventory 17. Philadelphia – Equipment 18. Phoenix – Advertising 19. Portland – Hiring Personnel 20. Sacramento – Taxes 21. San Francisco – Taxes 22. Seattle – Renovation 23. St. Louis – Cash Flow 24. Tampa – Cash Flow 25. Washington, DC – Denied Bank Loan The top three reasons to get a cash advance were: denied a bank loan, needed the money for tax purposes, and for cash flow issues. Small business owners in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, DC cited that they were denied a traditional bank loan, and that’s why alternative financing seemed like a feasible opportunity to get a lump sum of cash. Alternative financing is quickly becoming one of the top ways small business owners get funding. Today, most traditional banks won’t even consider giving out a business loan that is less than $200,000. This leaves many business owners, who are looking for a smaller amount of cash, out of luck. Merchant cash advances are quickly becoming one of the top ways business owners can get lower amounts of fast capital to help expand their business or in case of a business emergency. “It’s great to hear that these major 25 cities are optimistic about the business strength of small business in America,” says the Chief Communications Officer of Merchant Cash USA Darrin Landau. “Many business owners turn to a cash advance for a variety of reasons. If they live in a state that has higher taxes, that could be an indicator. While not surprisingly, most major cities note that they were denied a tradition bank loan. Getting a bank loan after the recession in 2008, has been anything but easy for business owners.” About Merchant Cash USA Merchant Cash USA was founded in 2015 to help businesses grow by obtaining the cash flow they need. The organization’s mission is to offer small to medium size business owners cash advances without the hassle of big bank requirements.

Councilman Bill Gates, Allpoint Network Team Up on "Welcome to Feenix" to Promote Free Phoenix Events and Activities

March 7, 2016 ​Councilman Bill Gates and Allpoint Network, the world’s largest surcharge-free ATM network, today announced an initiative designed to promote the vast amount of cultural, art, music and other events, activities and transportation that are available for free to Phoenix residents and visitors. Backed by high job growth and low unemployment rates, the Phoenix metro area was the sixth fastest growing city in the U.S. in 2014 and continues to see extensive growth. As the city expands, keeping Phoenicians up-to-date on the free activities and events in Phoenix remains a focus to support the city’s unique culture and feel. “As Phoenix expands, so does the quality and volume of enriching experiences for our residents and visitors,” Councilman Bill Gates said. “It has always been the goal of the City Council to support local businesses, the arts and culture, as well as the quality of life for all of our residents and visitors. This educational campaign will help to accomplish these goals.” The initiative, called “Welcome to Feenix,” will leverage an educational campaign to help inform Phoenicians about free activities and events happening in the city. “Our goal is to educate Phoenicians on the free and family friendly ways to enjoy everything our city has to offer – from movie nights at the library and events at the science center, to dance classes and our expansive Phoenix Mountain Preserve trail system,” Councilman Gates added. “With this initiative, we seek to promote all of the arts and cultural activities that are available for free to our residents and guests visiting our great city.” In collaboration with Councilman Gates’ office, Allpoint Network created an informational “Welcome to Feenix” brochure that maps out locations and dates of free activities in Phoenix, including: free days at the Phoenix Art Museum, trolley tours, yoga classes and more. Allpoint Network will host a “Surcharge-Free Day” on March 12, offering residents and visitors surcharge-free access to all Allpoint ATMs at all Arizona QuikTrip locations, regardless of their financial institution. NOTE: While not likely, financial institutions may charge a foreign fee for using any ATM that it does not operate directly, including Allpoint Network ATMs. Residents are encouraged to check with their financial institution for details. “At $3.15, Phoenix has the second highest average ATM surcharge fee per transaction,” said Bill Knoll, managing director, Allpoint Network. “Our goal is to provide convenient surcharge-free cash access to consumers giving them the opportunity to use the cash savings for their families.” The list of free things to do in Phoenix is available by visiting welcometofeenix.com. ​ Media Contact: David Urbinato Phone Number: 602-495-5405
