What is a psf it stands

1
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.600
 for professional service fee? It is

2
00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:09.400
 in essing in essence. It is in

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.900
 essence a closing cost charged by the broker to

4
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:15.700
 a merchant in a business financing and

5
00:00:15.700 --> 00:00:16.100
 transaction.

6
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:20.700
Now normally in this particular world

7
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.600
 the broker is already getting paid a

8
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.700
 commission by the funding source.

9
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:29.300
Typically, so that would mean that this other

10
00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:33.100
 fee of this psf is another via separate

11
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.200
 fee being charged by the broker to

12
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.100
 the merchant which means the broker is getting paid.

13
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:38.400
twice

14
00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:41.100
two fees two fees

15
00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:44.600
So not every broker will charge a psf

16
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.200
 because technically they're already being paid. The

17
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.200
 question is are they being paid enough for

18
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.900
 the service at the rendering?

19
00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:55.100
Because we don't know what their commission is right out the top of her head

20
00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:56.900
 and this hypothetical scenario.

21
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.800
Some states are now requiring disclosure a

22
00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:03.400
 broker fees whether it be the commission. They're

23
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:03.500
 getting

24
00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:07.500
And or the psf that they're charging

25
00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.500
 so this information will become more available

26
00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:13.500
 to merchants in terms of how much is my

27
00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:16.300
 broker. How much is my salesperson getting paid on

28
00:01:16.300 --> 00:01:16.600
 the deal?

29
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:20.400
Before they may not have known that a

30
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.700
 commission with being paid to the broker. And so the psf kind of

31
00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:26.200
 made sense, right? But all

32
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.000
 it is at the end of the day. It's just a fee a professional service

33
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.800
 fee the Brokers charging independent of

34
00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:35.500
 the funding company paying out of commission so that

35
00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:37.100
 the broker can get paid for

36
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:38.600
its work
