Very easy to work with once the client profile is built. Even though the interest is high compared to bank loans, the preview of any loan is accurate and transparent. No hidden fees or bureaucratic ho... See more

So Easy!!

Very easy for us to pull funds as we need them to help even out cash flow through the year. Very simple process.

Driven came through for my company when I needed it. The process was rather seamless and quick, asked logical questions and really looked at the financial data as opposed to the age of the corporation. Very flexible repayment terms, highly recommended.

Disappointing Experience

1.) Very slow at getting me a quote. I contacted Merchant Growth and they had a quote to me within 1 hour. Driven used to be that fast...this time Driven took 24+ hours to get me a quote. I had to ask twice!!!
2.) Also...Driven had a ridiculous request for a site visit. A site visit...I have dealt with Driven many times for many thousands of dollars and you want to waste my time with a site visit! I finally allowed the site visit to happen and was shocked and disturbed by the questions that this person was asking me, as they were the exact questions that I had answered earlier for the Driven person on the phone. (What did I need the money for, when did I start in business, how long was my lease, how many employees etc etc). This person then took many pictures of my 28,000 sq ft showroom...bothering my staff. She even took pictures of my bathroom facilities!! This was all done after the money had been advanced. I will be checking with your competitors when I need money in the future. This was a frustrating experience and not like the Driven company that I have worked with in the past. You are starting to act like a bank!!!!
