Vanessa owns a marketing agency. Her business has been operating for over 6 months. Her business has acquired a number of large, new clients, so now she needs to hire contractors to deliver the work. Vanessa decides to take out a BetterBusiness Loan to cover her cash flow gap.

It takes about 15 minutes and at the end of the phonecall, Jamal confirms that Vanessa can borrow the amount she wants. Jamal sends Vanessa her loan documents to sign and she signs them on the spot, electronically.
Within a few days of signing her documents, Vanessa has the funds in her account and is able to start hiring contractors to help her deliver work for her new clients.
