I did some research online prior to contacting company. However, like with many other reviews and research I could find just as many good things as bad things with Direct Business Lending. Things started as seeming ligament, however about 3 months into the process things started changing. I would call the company to get updates and would be on hold forever, then I was told by the person that answered the phone that I needed to start sending text or emails. IT was at that time I realized I was paying this company over $3000.00 to help me with much of nothing! I ended up paying $3000.00 for a sub standard business plan! I urge individuals to NOT be as trustworthy as I was and end up paying for services that you will NOT receive!

SCAMMERS ...... How do they sleep at night?
I thought I was a really smart business person ... my mistake was even entertaining a conversation with them on the phone, with promises to help your business ... they prey on people who need financial assistance, and their preferred choice are people who are really desperate and are the easiest targets ... These people are the *** of the earth ... they will talk you into signing a contract then disappear ... I now have to file bankruptcy just to stop them from pulling any further payments from my account ... closing an account will not stop them from getting a payment if you open another checking account with the same bank ........ DO NOT DO BUSINESS OR SIGN ANYTHING WITH THESE PEOPLE, NO MATTER WHAT THEY PROMISE ... YOU WILL REGRET DO SO!!!

Direct Business Lending is Fraud - Need help
Rating Details
During July 2015, I have approached this company to gain help in getting a business loan for my startup company. They said they can prepare my case with a set of deliverables in 6 weeks and find a lender to get me the loan. I have waited until Dec'15 but they have never delivered what they said. All they did was a simple business plan which was not at all fit for anything. On top of that they never receive the phone calls, made tons of calls and got heavily frustrated. Once a month, someone calls and says they want to review my case, always a different person so I had to explain everything from the beginning to everyone and the call will end by them saying that they will assign someone to work with me. Again, the cycle repeats, I make tons of calls, no one I could talk to and after a month someone calls by naming him/herself as the Account manager, begin the story and saying they will assign someone. Now, Dec'16, their legal administrator called me saying that I didn't pay the complete amount so they will chargeoff my account. All through Jan/Feb'16 they had been charging my credit card for $180/month with an initial payment of $450. I am sure, with such a fraud company, many would have been in my situation. I have read several people saying the same in the past time line (years ago), I wish I would have read them before getting into this crap with this company. I would like to connect with the people who are currently going through and know their action plan or the people who had done it in the past. Please help in finding a counteract so that it at least helps saving others not getting into any kind of business with these people. I can be reached on jeshwar@***.com. Thanks for reading and suggesting, Eshwar.

I paid $300 initial payment with recurring monthly payments ,filled out survey after survey after survey and in June was asked to fill out the same surveys which were updated??? After many months of pain and being super patient I still haven't got a reply I'm getting the runaround and nobody's calling back I've called and left messages and emailed In order to get a response. I'm so done with this terrible lie of a company. I can't believe they're still in business somebody needs to shut them down and lock them all up like the FBI . Don't do any business with these scandalous Fools

Direct Business Lending - Loan Review
They were supposed to set me up with financing for my business. They said they would call on certain dates and they never did.. I would call on the phone and just get transferred with promises "someone" would call back.. I was set up with 3K to be taken out of my account over a period of 3 years. That was just to get my business name and all the legal stuff to get going. When I tried to cancel they would not refund my money. After I actually settled the account for $1200, they continued to take monthly payments out. When I called them they promised to take care of it and refund my money.. This happened several times until I had to go to my bank and they tried to send back the transactions unauthorized... This business is a scam!!!!!!

I just received a call from their attorney threatening to charge off my account and put it on my credit. I like most of you here have been scammed and paid money and nothing was ever delivered on what they promised. I would love to do a class action suit against them. Let me know if any of you are interested. Companies like this should be stopped from taking advantage of people. All they are are bullies and they offer a false hope to people who truly think they have a shot on getting a loan for their business. Please consider joining me on a class action lawsuit against them so that they will not do this to other people.

I am beginning to think it's a scam. Can't get a return call from anyone, or a return email. I have been dealing with these scam artists long enough. I should have known better. Trusted to many people. Won't ever happen again.

Direct Business Lending - Review in Financial Services category
Hit the internet looking for start up loans. They popped up and had all the right answers. Went through almost 14 months of, "(Whoever) will be in touch with you in one month from personal credit. (Whoever) from the account managing will be in touch with you in one month." So, after 14 months of $180 I told some woman to kiss my ***. Their "lawyer" called me and i referred them to my actual lawyer and thats the end. Business plan was so basic my banker laughed at me and felt so bad he helped me do a business plan. Everything Ive read in the other reviews are pretty much true! ITS A SCAM!

We went searching on the internet for grants and startup money for our new business, which turned out not to be successful. However, a few weeks later I received a call from Sprout. This is where my story begins. Sprout started out by telling me that my file landed on his desk because the person that was working on it was no longer with the company. He said he needed a “good” credit card that would only charge $1 and then be reversed so that my file could then be sent to the “next level”. I complied, I saw the $1 charge, and it did drop off after a day … BUT 5 days later my card was hit with a $29.99 charge. By this time, I was dealing with the “next level”. I did get a refund, but had to fight for it by reporting them to the BBB and my bank’s fraud department. We were passed to the “next level” several times, until we landed at DIRECT BUSINESS LENDING in September 2016!!! They have an excellent sales pitch with a lot of promises to a tune of $3,500+. Thinking it was worth it we decided to try them out by making a down payment of more than $375 and monthly payments of $165+ for the “package”. We’ve were sent links and paperwork to be filled out, which were done. We have been try to contact them for a while now via text (the only way this business will communicate with you once they have your contract) and did initially received responses that someone will call “soon”, but in the last few weeks we have not received any response AND no call. It seems like they have just disappeared from the face of the earth. We can’t get a hold of anyone through email, text or phone. We have now stopped any further payments to them.

This company truly sucks. Paid them money and waited 5 months for my loan. Then they send me something stating that I need a consigner. I send them another email asking questions and still after 4 emails I have sent with NO return reply. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH COMPANY. And I still need a loan

STAY AWAY!
Everything you read on here is 100% accurate.. I have first hand experience and knowledge.. Don't only run, but run as fast as you can away from this company. CEO is a liar! He uses fake names and is full of it..Period end of story... Do NOT do business with them! All of the reviews on here are sad, but true... It unfortunate that they make you believe that they can actually get you a loan, but just make promises that they can never deliver on... Lesson learned.. Expensive lesson for me, but lesson learned.. Stay away from doing business with them, you will not doubt get burned!
