We're 9 00:00:14.085 --> 00:00:15.085 Happy to have you. So tell 10 00:00:15.085 --> 00:00:16.565 me about Rock Financial. Uh, 11 00:00:16.565 --> 00:00:19.085 So Rock Financial, we're a commercial finance broker, uh, 12 00:00:19.085 --> 00:00:20.205 full service brokerage. 13 00:00:20.205 --> 00:00:22.765 We offer pretty much any commercial finance product 14 00:00:22.765 --> 00:00:24.845 that a small business owner might need, um, 15 00:00:24.845 --> 00:00:27.285 to take advantage of an opportunity or solve a challenge. 16 00:00:27.705 --> 00:00:29.085 And, uh, and we're really excited 17 00:00:29.085 --> 00:00:31.485 to be here supporting the lenders, supporting the industry, 18 00:00:31.745 --> 00:00:33.965 and, uh, and just all around good business. 19 00:00:34.425 --> 00:00:35.445 We love the business. So 20 00:00:35.445 --> 00:00:37.325 how do you fit into the B2B space? 21 00:00:37.945 --> 00:00:40.245 Um, so I, I think we fit in a, 22 00:00:40.315 --> 00:00:42.445 into the B2B space extremely uniquely. 23 00:00:42.665 --> 00:00:45.765 Uh, because when, when you think about funding, right? 24 00:00:45.785 --> 00:00:47.885 If, if every small business owner knew 25 00:00:47.885 --> 00:00:49.445 what every funder did, uh, 26 00:00:49.445 --> 00:00:51.045 there'd be no need for brokers, right? 27 00:00:51.225 --> 00:00:53.285 And I think that that's the space that we fill is the, 28 00:00:53.285 --> 00:00:54.725 is the gap for information. 29 00:00:54.985 --> 00:00:57.885 We get information to lenders that allow them to make, uh, 30 00:00:57.885 --> 00:00:58.885 streamlined decisions, 31 00:00:58.945 --> 00:01:01.805 and we get information to borrowers that allow them to see, 32 00:01:01.825 --> 00:01:03.925 Hey, can I take advantage of this or not? 33 00:01:03.925 --> 00:01:06.605 Right? And, and I think that that's probably what we bring 34 00:01:06.605 --> 00:01:09.045 to the, the, the space the most is just the ability 35 00:01:09.065 --> 00:01:11.245 to share information quickly and efficiently. And 36 00:01:11.245 --> 00:01:13.245 That makes you stand out amongst the rest. I, 37 00:01:13.325 --> 00:01:14.325 I would think so. Yeah. 38 00:01:14.325 --> 00:01:16.165 I think a lot of people, uh, you know, 39 00:01:16.165 --> 00:01:18.325 they're out there running their own race, right? 40 00:01:18.585 --> 00:01:20.365 And, uh, you know, some do what's right, 41 00:01:20.395 --> 00:01:22.445 some do what's, you know, not so, right. 42 00:01:22.745 --> 00:01:26.045 And, and we do that. We just run our own race and we, uh, 43 00:01:26.065 --> 00:01:27.525 and we've established what we do. 44 00:01:27.585 --> 00:01:29.365 And, um, I think that that's why, 45 00:01:29.385 --> 00:01:30.685 you know, we're, we're sponsors. 46 00:01:30.685 --> 00:01:33.405 It's why we, you know, we stand out within the industry 47 00:01:33.875 --> 00:01:34.875 Without a doubt. 48 00:01:34.915 --> 00:01:37.925 With, without just rocking and rolling.
