00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:11.460
episode of the Mark Bishop show.
In this segment, What's New in

00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:14.700
Biz. And now your host, Mark
Bishop.

5
00:00:17.060 --> 00:00:19.760
Mark Bishop: We've been talking
with various executives in the

6
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.660
small business lending industry
about a new and exciting service

7
00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:28.100
product that helps them
immensely to avoid the scammers

8
00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:32.930
and fraudsters who prey on these
merchant cash advance providers.

9
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:37.070
Nationwide Management Services
offers a virtual video

10
00:00:37.070 --> 00:00:41.360
verification software, which not
only offers great security, but

11
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:45.680
a massive time saved as well.
There's a big event coming up in

12
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:50.090
October named deBanked Connect
in San Diego. And my next

13
00:00:50.090 --> 00:00:54.110
interview in this series comes
from The Fundworks, LLC, one of

14
00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:58.970
the sponsors of this huge event.
Avital Faershtein is the

15
00:00:58.970 --> 00:01:03.800
Director of Operations for The
Fundworks, LLC. Hi there,

16
00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:05.030
Avital, how you doing?

17
00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:07.340
Avital Faershtein: Hi, great,
Mark, how are you?

18
00:01:07.370 --> 00:01:10.070
Mark Bishop: I'm well, thank
you. Tell me how has this

19
00:01:10.070 --> 00:01:13.070
process been helpful to your
organization?

20
00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:16.010
Avital Faershtein: Well, thank
you for taking the time to speak

21
00:01:16.010 --> 00:01:19.850
with me Mark, Nationwide
Management Services was able to

22
00:01:19.850 --> 00:01:23.480
complete our virtual site
inspection order very quickly.

23
00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:27.800
It did not take long at all to
receive all the results, and our

24
00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:31.130
merchant was impressed with the
ease of the process. We were

25
00:01:31.130 --> 00:01:34.640
able to receive the video of the
inspection as well over 50

26
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.750
photos of the exact location of
the business on the map.

27
00:01:38.970 --> 00:01:42.030
Mark Bishop: Wow. I mean, do you
see this process increasing your

28
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:43.230
funding capabilities?

29
00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:46.390
Avital Faershtein: Oh, sure,
having the ability to offer

30
00:01:46.390 --> 00:01:49.960
virtual site inspections is a
great benefit. Since the virtual

31
00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:53.410
site inspection process is so
quick, we'll be able to expedite

32
00:01:53.410 --> 00:01:56.710
the fundings of the approvals
that require site inspections

33
00:01:56.710 --> 00:01:58.420
and help more small business
owners.

34
00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:00.870
Mark Bishop: So what you're
telling me is you were able to

35
00:02:00.870 --> 00:02:05.220
identify any fraudulent merchant
activity pretty quickly. That's

36
00:02:05.220 --> 00:02:10.470
good. How easy is it to order a
virtual video verification

37
00:02:10.470 --> 00:02:11.160
inspection?

38
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:15.030
Avital Faershtein: It is just
about a minute it's super easy.

39
00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.940
We were able to customize the
reports as well, which is

40
00:02:17.940 --> 00:02:19.620
extremely helpful on our end as
well.

41
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:22.470
Mark Bishop: Okay, would you
recommend these services to

42
00:02:22.470 --> 00:02:24.300
other merchant cash advance
providers?

43
00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:26.040
Avital Faershtein: Definitely.

44
00:02:26.990 --> 00:02:29.960
Mark Bishop: Okay, Nationwide
Management Services offers a

45
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.040
virtual video verification
software, which not only offers

46
00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:38.180
great security we're hearing but
a massive time saved as well.

47
00:02:38.420 --> 00:02:42.740
Now this process has helped your
organization. You see this

48
00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:46.880
process increasing your funding
capabilities and you're able to

49
00:02:46.880 --> 00:02:50.720
identify any fraudulent merchant
activity. That's pretty exciting

50
00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:52.130
stuff, I think Avital.

51
00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:55.160
Avital Faershtein: 100%
Absolutely.

52
00:02:55.620 --> 00:02:57.930
Mark Bishop: Said it's easy to
order as well. And you would

53
00:02:57.930 --> 00:03:01.200
recommend. Well listen, I know
you're very, very busy and the

54
00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:03.600
conference is coming up and
you're looking forward to that,

55
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:06.210
I have I see you there. Thank
you for giving us the time that

56
00:03:06.210 --> 00:03:11.430
you have. Avital Faershtein,

57

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:23.820

LLC, one of the sponsors of the
deBanked Connect San Diego

61
00:03:28.350 --> 00:03:32.970
conference held once a year in
San Diego, and it's being held

62
00:03:32.970 --> 00:03:37.590
at the Hard Rock Hotel in the
Gaslamp Quarter, October 24 this

63
00:03:37.590 --> 00:03:42.240
year, 2019. It sounds like a lot
of fun. It kicks off at 1:30pm

64
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.240
with registration and
networking. And that does sound

65
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.600
like fun. It's the end of the
only small business finance

66
00:03:48.600 --> 00:03:53.010
networking event from what I can
find out of its kind in

67
00:03:53.010 --> 00:03:57.660
California. And apparently last
year over 300 attended with an

68
00:03:57.660 --> 00:04:01.680
expected 400 this year. No
wonder I guess when it's

69
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.640
inclusive of merchant cash
advance, small business lending

70
00:04:05.730 --> 00:04:10.020
equipment leasing, factoring an
tabletops for sponsors. And of

71
00:04:10.020 --> 00:04:14.550
course top speakers, a virtual
who's who of the Small Busines

72
00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:17.850
financial world. Now look, in
case you're wondering, "am I too

73
00:04:17.850 --> 00:04:21.450
late to get discounted room
rates?" Well, you're not. But

74
00:04:21.630 --> 00:04:25.590
you've only got to September 23
to get that special boys an

75
00:04:25.590 --> 00:04:28.500
girls so don't dilly dally
because after that it's back to

76
00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:34.950
full price. So get a move on an
go to www.debankedsandiego.com

77
00:04:34.950 --> 00:04:40.110
When the website Bob's up
click the venue tab and

78
00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:42.960
take advantage of it all. I
think it's going to be a

79
00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:45.570
wonderful event this year. And
