1
00:00:00.825 --> 00:00:03.005
And welcome back to Broker, period 2025.

2
00:00:03.165 --> 00:00:06.045
I am here with Mati. Mati. It's a pleasure to meet you.

3
00:00:06.155 --> 00:00:08.365
Nice to meet you too. So let's start off really quick

4
00:00:08.365 --> 00:00:11.005
for the people watching this, introduce yourself

5
00:00:11.145 --> 00:00:12.365
and the company that you're with.

6
00:00:12.555 --> 00:00:14.845
Okay. My name is Mati Dahan, I'm the president

7
00:00:14.845 --> 00:00:19.605
of SMART MCA and um, we are a software platform, uh, kind

8
00:00:19.605 --> 00:00:22.525
of like a loan management system for MCA funders.

9
00:00:22.985 --> 00:00:25.205
Um, hopefully gonna be expanding out to brokers,

10
00:00:25.225 --> 00:00:27.725
but primarily now we focus on the funder side.

11
00:00:28.065 --> 00:00:30.725
Uh, we don't do any funding ourselves, strictly software.

12
00:00:31.185 --> 00:00:34.765
And we provide all the tools necessary for, uh, funders

13
00:00:34.785 --> 00:00:36.885
to do everything from submissions all the way

14
00:00:36.885 --> 00:00:39.165
to post fundings, collections, things like that.

15
00:00:39.705 --> 00:00:42.005
Uh, we focus very heavily on automation.

16
00:00:42.005 --> 00:00:43.285
That's a big part of what we do.

17
00:00:43.535 --> 00:00:46.445
Automating everything from the submission side, uh,

18
00:00:46.665 --> 00:00:48.165
and then the underwriting side of it.

19
00:00:48.465 --> 00:00:52.285
Uh, contract generation, background checks, all those types

20
00:00:52.285 --> 00:00:53.645
of things in order to be able to send out offers,

21
00:00:54.055 --> 00:00:57.565
close those offers, and then, uh, and then actually fund.

22
00:00:57.865 --> 00:00:58.965
And then once the deal's funded,

23
00:00:58.995 --> 00:01:00.165
it's all about collecting it

24
00:01:00.185 --> 00:01:01.525
and making sure that things are being

25
00:01:01.525 --> 00:01:02.885
collected properly on that side.

26
00:01:02.905 --> 00:01:04.765
So really from beginning to end, we try

27
00:01:04.765 --> 00:01:06.765
to give them all the tools in their toolbox.

28
00:01:07.785 --> 00:01:10.885
So building personal relationships is something

29
00:01:10.885 --> 00:01:12.805
that's very important in this industry.

30
00:01:12.985 --> 00:01:15.965
You're offering something very unique with the software.

31
00:01:16.505 --> 00:01:18.125
So why has that been important

32
00:01:18.345 --> 00:01:19.805
for you and for your business?

33
00:01:20.305 --> 00:01:22.645
As far as building like relationships and stuff? Yes.

34
00:01:22.645 --> 00:01:25.965
So yeah, so the, the biggest challenge I would say

35
00:01:25.965 --> 00:01:27.325
with this industry is trust.

36
00:01:27.865 --> 00:01:29.885
Um, not just from a security perspective,

37
00:01:30.385 --> 00:01:33.005
but making sure that your deals are not being, you know,

38
00:01:33.205 --> 00:01:36.605
like shopped out or sell, sold out or anything like that.

39
00:01:36.705 --> 00:01:38.525
So building those relationships

40
00:01:38.745 --> 00:01:41.805
and trust is critical for us to grow our business.

41
00:01:42.425 --> 00:01:44.845
I'm a software guy. I've always been a software guy.

42
00:01:45.185 --> 00:01:47.165
Uh, I've never been in the funding business.

43
00:01:47.505 --> 00:01:50.525
Um, and I try to make sure that our customers know that

44
00:01:50.665 --> 00:01:52.245
and they, and they, you know, build

45
00:01:52.245 --> 00:01:53.805
that relationship and that trust with us.

46
00:01:54.225 --> 00:01:56.765
Uh, 'cause that's really critical for them to know that

47
00:01:57.385 --> 00:01:59.005
I'm not a competitor for them.

48
00:01:59.345 --> 00:02:00.525
I'm here as a tech partner.

49
00:02:01.065 --> 00:02:02.645
I'm here to help them grow their business

50
00:02:02.645 --> 00:02:03.725
and scale their business.

51
00:02:04.145 --> 00:02:06.045
So really that's what we focus very heavily

52
00:02:06.105 --> 00:02:07.125
on when we try to sell.

53
00:02:08.105 --> 00:02:12.045
So for 2025, what is business look like

54
00:02:12.145 --> 00:02:13.845
for you the last couple of months,

55
00:02:13.945 --> 00:02:15.005
and what is it gonna look like

56
00:02:15.025 --> 00:02:17.525
for you going towards the end of 25?

57
00:02:17.945 --> 00:02:21.285
So, 2025 has been amazing. We've been exploding.

58
00:02:21.825 --> 00:02:25.125
Uh, we, we've brought on first of all new tech partners,

59
00:02:25.215 --> 00:02:28.365
which have really helped us expand our offering.

60
00:02:28.985 --> 00:02:31.245
Uh, and then we've also built on built,

61
00:02:31.245 --> 00:02:33.725
built in new technologies within the system itself.

62
00:02:34.145 --> 00:02:36.245
Uh, focusing on things that automation,

63
00:02:36.245 --> 00:02:39.205
but also ai, really, really taking advantage

64
00:02:39.265 --> 00:02:40.765
of AI and the power of it.

65
00:02:41.195 --> 00:02:43.365
It's really expanded our system. Amazing.

66
00:02:43.625 --> 00:02:46.085
And, um, not only are we bringing on new customers

67
00:02:46.085 --> 00:02:48.525
where we're able to upsell our existing customers,

68
00:02:48.705 --> 00:02:50.605
2025 has been amazing with that.

69
00:02:50.605 --> 00:02:53.245
And we're looking to at least double our customer

70
00:02:53.275 --> 00:02:54.325
base by the end.

71
00:02:54.985 --> 00:02:58.925
And coming to an event like this, how will it help you

72
00:02:59.615 --> 00:03:01.925
build a relationship here and then build your business?

73
00:03:02.315 --> 00:03:04.365
Sure. Well, there's so many different types of people

74
00:03:04.365 --> 00:03:05.925
that come here to this type of event.

75
00:03:06.385 --> 00:03:08.245
You have, you have of course funders,

76
00:03:08.245 --> 00:03:11.085
which are our core clients, but you have brokers as well.

77
00:03:11.425 --> 00:03:13.365
And you have people that are in the advertisement

78
00:03:13.695 --> 00:03:14.765
space, marketing space.

79
00:03:15.305 --> 00:03:17.485
Um, you have people that are in the legal space.

80
00:03:18.025 --> 00:03:20.805
So we try to focus not only on the funders,

81
00:03:20.825 --> 00:03:23.205
but also on people that can refer our business.

82
00:03:23.465 --> 00:03:25.325
So we build referral partnerships too.

83
00:03:25.585 --> 00:03:27.005
So that's a big part of it also.

84
00:03:27.185 --> 00:03:29.605
And then there's a lot of people that are kind

85
00:03:29.605 --> 00:03:30.685
of in the industry,

86
00:03:30.865 --> 00:03:33.485
but are looking to get to the next step for funding.

87
00:03:34.185 --> 00:03:36.285
And that's, that's kind of our specialty

88
00:03:36.485 --> 00:03:38.485
'cause we try to help people really get in

89
00:03:38.825 --> 00:03:41.405
and we make the entire process very automated.

90
00:03:41.465 --> 00:03:43.805
So you don't need to start bringing on massive teams.

91
00:03:44.185 --> 00:03:45.365
You don't need to spend a ton

92
00:03:45.365 --> 00:03:47.645
of money on all different kinds of software platforms.

93
00:03:47.865 --> 00:03:50.205
You have one system, one company that you can trust

94
00:03:50.315 --> 00:03:52.445
that will really help you scale out and grow very quickly.

95
00:03:52.545 --> 00:03:54.005
So that's what we focus on as well.

96
00:03:54.785 --> 00:03:56.805
And for someone that's interested in getting in contact

97
00:03:56.955 --> 00:03:59.165
