"Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you protect it." — Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happyness
About Premium Merchant Funding
One of the largest brokerage platforms in the alternative lending industry, headquartered on Wall Street.

Any representative submitting two applications a day is on pace to earn $120,000 or more in annual commissions.
Every client you fund becomes a page in a book of business you own. Those pages become repeat customers and referral sources.

This role is built around human connection and that is not changing.
