This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any concerns. Central Business Funding listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.
Central Business Funding 's principal, Trevor Lee has informed us that his personal philosophy is that his clients success are the heart of the business. As a successful businessman, Trevor feels it is critical to listen to his clients and respond properly. By always putting his customers first, Trevor hopes to maintain Central Business Funding as a successful enterprise both now and for many years to come. Another top executive told us that Trevor's personal business philosophy is based on the premise that "strives to add value in service, understanding that a successful business model is based on value-added services, and client care". Trevor says this, "We are one of the top ad agencies for helping small businesses create and understand thier funding options. With us, you'll always receive a complex and customized approach to prepping your file for funding that comes from a team who consistently borrows strategies from large brands and adapts them to better assist businesses."
One of the things Ripoff Report learned in the course of its review is that typical customer feedback reads, "Central Business Funding truly communicate all aspects of the service in a timely and effective manner. We are very pleased with the responsiveness that the employees show us. They are serious about meeting commitments, and deliver on their promises."
The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Trevor Lee during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases towards Central Business Funding.
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
Central Business Funding is a company dedicated to consulting and guiding small businesses and startups during the early phases of their developing companies. This primarily involves helping businesses locate funding options as well as creating business plans. Trevor Lee stated the following about his company, "the idea is that a lot of small businesses aren’t really prepared to go out there and seek funding or get loans, and so we kind of fill the gap of nobody being there to kind of walk them through the process. Or help fill the void because they don’t know where to go to get a business plan." Central Business Funding works directly with their clients to ensure that they understand the process of getting funding, and provide a path to the right kind of funding for them.
Leads for Central Business Funding are obtained through pay per click advertising on Google, Bing, Yahoo, as well as other major websites. A potential customer can visit their websites to get a brief overview of their services as well as submit their basic information to obtain additional information. From there a representative will reach out to access the needs of the potential client and offer them a $19 assessment through a funding analyst that will appropriately explain their needs as a business. After this assessment a senior funding analyst will advise what services they would recommend. The full service package that Central Business Funding offers costs $2,500 with a $100 deposit required from the client. From there the client can pay off over the next 24 months.
CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – CENTRAL BUSINESS FUNDING
During the onsite inspection Mr. Lee was asked to describe a situation where a client was not pleased with the level of service or products they received. While they rarely receive complaints Mr. Lee stated the following, "it's a sensitive industry to be in because we are talking about money. So if somebody goes through the process...even if their seeing progress...the dissatisfaction comes on their end if they can't find funding on an immediate basis. A lot of people want what they want and they want it now."
When asked about the comments posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Lee stated, "They believe our product is a loan...so what I've done in order to change that...I do have a written contract again that states that these are the services that they are paying for and I can't offer funding guarantees you're paying for a service not a loan. So that's where the issue is that if somebody is paying for something and they don't get a loan because of it then they feel as if they didn't get the product or service." In order to assure future and current clients Central Business Funding is currently working on becoming accredited with Ripoff Report as well as the Better Business Bureau.
When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to make things right with the customer per the request of Ripoff Report, Mr. Lee stated, "growing my consulting side of things...instead of just a written agreement I now have a recorded registration process that each customer has to go through that's uploaded to their file."
Central Business Funding is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "it means that customers can ultimately feel good about working with us. It means that they can feel what I already know...so becoming a part of something that validates what you do on a day to day basis means a lot not only to me personally or to our company, but I believe that a customer should come in and have a clear understanding of what we do...and judge us based upon what we do.

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
----------------------------------------------------------------
Central Business Funding claims they can build your business credit and leave you in a great position when it comes to talking with lenders. CBL did none of the above in fact they don't even know how to call their customers back until it was time to collect money. Most business is done through emails and their coaching skills will leave any team starting up with a loss. You can't compare their customer service to WAL-MART because the employees at WAL-MART would actually help you unlike CBL. I have a toll free number and after dealing with CBL I am now receiving calls with no one on the other line just using minutes? This practice is a joke and I prey they don't share my personal information.

I understand you're the owner and I’m sure you know who this is so if you care about your company and customer service we can handle this by issuing me a credit of $1,200.00. Your company pushed my file to the lending side without proper coaching and no Paydex score due to false documents sent by your representative. Clear violation of sections 3.0 / 3.1 / 3.2 of your Consulting Agreement. I’m sorry who's the coach? What did I pay for? If I wanted personal credit I would have went to Wells Fargo not pay close to 2K for business coaching. I take back calling you trolls out of frustration I apologize.

Another CBF Troll. No worries I’m still working with the credit services to get back the money you hi jacked when you realized Dun & Bradstreet no longer honored your vendor lists. If I have to seek legal counsel I will. Like I said all who read and make bets you might as well put your money on the Jaguars then CBF.

I have never seen a customer that has worked with us not be satifed. Look at any complaint about the company, we have resolved it. We are very pro-active and it doesnt look as though you even spent money with us from what I can tell. You never mentioned a cost about any service you claim to receive from us. If there was a problem with something who did you reach out within the company to resolve it? Or was your first responds to go complain?
No one is person or company is perfect but Central Business Funding takes pride in being there and resolving the probelm is one does occur. Name one cusotmer that has reached out to us that they have turned there back on?... NOBODY! That is what is most improtant. So instead of complaining be pro-active and call and speak with someone about your issue. If this is a real customer and not a competitor.
Why would anyone waste there time on calling you just to waste minutes? Most people have unlimited minutes these days so that would be a waste of our time. I am not trying to be rude but don't flatter yourself in reagrds to someone being paid to sit and call you and waste your and our time.
