Thu, April 25, 2013
As I have been contacted numerous times by Advance It, I must point out that the comment about them being fair and upfront regarding the cost of borrowing with them, this is untrue.
I had rejected their initial attempt to lend me money and one of the reasons is that it was very expensive. I have to admit that the lady on the phone did agree with me and I thought that was the end of it.
A few months later ie. today April 24, 2013, I was contacted by the original salesman and when I had said that I would not be borrowing with them as it is very expensive I was told and I quote "it is not expensive we offer 0% financing".
Of course I'm not sure how a company can make any money offerring 0% so I decided to research this company and that landed me here.

The following report from 3/2/2011 is a misinterpretation of reality and as such, we would like to set the record straight. The situation was unfortunate and we hope this information helps clear the air regarding our company and its treatment of employees and clients.
To put things into context, lets first focus on the ex-employee that filed this report. This employee had significant attendance, reliability, and performance issues and was given several chances to redeem himself. Upon being let go for the aforementioned reasons, the employee contacted us several times asking for re-employment willing to take any position available. This request was declined for obvious reasons, but one has to wonder why he would come back to a company that allegedly mistreated him to such a degree.
As a well-established company with over six years of consistent growth and development, we pride ourselves on ensuring that our employees feel good about coming into work. This is the first and only complaint that we have seen, and with the commitment we have to supporting our employees with a positive work environment, fair pay, company outings and daily subsidized lunches, we sincerely hope it is the last.
In regards to our business and clientele, we have a 90% approval rate; therefore our qualification standards are fair and completely understandable given the high-risk financing market that we operate in. We are completely honest with the fact that our financing is in indeed expensive. Our funding helps our clients reinvest into their business and look towards a more profitable future because of it. Our focus is on the customer, and we are constantly striving to improve our processes to make it easier and as straight-forward as possible so that more Canadian businesses are able to reach their potential.
