Ripoff Report Verified™ REVIEW:

EDitor’s UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to Yellowstone Capital LLC for its commitment to excellence in customer service.

Ripoff Report’s discussions with Yellowstone Capital LLC have uncovered an ongoing commitment by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns. Yellowstone Capital LLC listens carefully to merchant 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.

Yellowstone Capital LLC’s principal, Mr. Isaac Stern, has informed us that his personal philosophy is that his clients are a precious resource. As a successful businessman, Mr. Stern feels it is critical to listen to his clients and respond properly. By always putting his customers first, Mr. Stern hopes to maintain Yellowstone Capital LLC as a successful enterprise both now and for many years to come.

Another top executive of the company told us that Mr. Stern's personal business philosophy is based on the premise that "We have helped business owners nationwide qualify for funding. Let us help you today!”. Yellowstone Capital LLC's mission statement says it all: "We fund the un-fundable.” One of the other things Ripoff Report learned in the course of its review is that typical customer feedback reads: “Yellowstone Capital LLC (and Mr. Stern) truly work with merchants, and Credit history is not important. If you can provide three months of Bank Statements you are pre-approved for a Merchant Cash Advance.”

The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Joshua Karp, COO of Yellowstone Capital, LLC, during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Yellowstone Capital, LLC.

Yellowstone Capital, LLC is a merchant cash advance company that specializes in providing money to businesses. “The actual process is called factoring. We buy future receivables in exchange for a percentage of their future profits,” explains Joshua Karp, COO. Yellowstone Capital acquires leads in two ways: first, they have in-house marketing, which is done via the internet. This process involves a potential customer coming across Yellowstone Capital on the web when they are in need of cash advance services. “If someone is interested, they can apply directly to us using our website. They are now considered a lead and someone will contact them directly from our office,” states Mr. Karp.



Their second method of acquiring leads is ISOs, or Independent Sales Organizations, which are third parties that are pre-cleared by management and are under contract. These ISOs do their own marketing, and once they have a prospective client, the ISO will pass that client on to Yellowstone Capital to determine if the prospect could become a qualified lead. Yellowstone Capital’s clients are typically businesses that need working capital for their operations. “Sometimes the cash advance is needed for a quick turnaround or because they just don’t have the qualifications that a traditional lender would require,” states Mr. Karp. “We don’t cold call; we have a list of merchants that applied for a cash advance, through us or an ISO that submits the business owner’s information.”



Yellowstone Capital LLC / Customer Support

At times, customers are not satisfied with one aspect or another of the service. A particular instance of this is a merchant complaining about the deal offered to them by Yellowstone Capital. “We have a standard contract that includes our bank fees and ACH fees, which clearly outlines all of the terms of the agreement,” states Mr. Karp. Yellowstone Capital strives to give their funders enough leeway to work with the merchants and help them if there is an issue regarding their repayment. The team at Yellowstone also tried to be understanding of each business’s economic situation and work with them to find the best plan for repayment. “As long as a merchant communicates with us, we’re happy to reduce the payment as necessary, or defer the payment a week or so to accommodate the merchant’s needs,” states Mr. Karp. Additionally, the ISOs that work with Yellowstone Capital sometimes have complaints, as well, mostly involving receiving commission for a referral. However, if the prospective customer does not turn into an actual lead and a sale does not actually happen, Mr. Karp states that the ISOs still sometimes want to receive their referral fee.

When the team at Yellowstone works to resolve a customer’s complaint, Mr. Karp states, “When we reach out to them, they’re happy and understand that we can work with them. Most of our legal disputes result in the client being reinstated unless the client went out of business legitimately or if there was a case of fraud.” After a complaint is resolved, the team at Yellowstone Capital follows up with the merchant via e-mail and telephone. “When the communication is finished, we know that the case is closed. At that time, the merchant is usually satisfied,” states Mr. Karp. To avoid any disputes or misunderstandings, Yellowstone Capital outlines their regulations and requirements in the standard contract they use for each case, which is a standard Merchant Cash Advance Contract. “Everything is explicitly outlined – the associated fees along with the factoring terms; there are no hidden disclaimers,” states Mr. Karp.





Since receiving complaints via Ripoff Report, Yellowstone Capital has proactively engaged in policy changes based on customer feedback and internal customer review. Specifically, they have created a compliance group and two separate teams which review customer activity and maintenance to ensure all company policies and contract terms are being adhered to, and to ensure mutual satisfaction. Yellowstone Capital recognizes the value of working with Ripoff Report and the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, and the platform it provides for businesses and customer to interact and resolve issues. “It gives us peace of mind to know that Ripoff Report is our third party advocate, not only for our customers, but for Yellowstone Capital, as well,” states Mr. Karp.
