II. ADVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Advisor agrees that it will handle Client’s business hereunder in a strictly professional and ethical manner, utilizing its best efforts and skill on behalf of Client; Advisor has made no guarantee that client will obtain a particular business credit score or guarantee regarding a specific cash dollar amount of credit a client will obtain.

1. Fees. The Client agrees and understands that all funding obtained for lending sources will have a cost involved. These costs are standard lender fees and might include processing fees, points, APRs, interest rates, discounts, and other standard fees commonly associated with borrowing money. These fees are not charged by the Business Finance Suite team, but the lender themselves. The MyCompanyCredit Portal finance officers search to find the best, and most affordable terms each client might qualify for.
2. Client does receive many free items as part of their enrollment with the MyCompanyCredit Portal, including access to their Experian Smart Business data, information on obtaining a free DUNS number and credit profile activation from Dun and Bradstreet, and no-cost listing with 411 National Directory.

IV. SECURING OF CASH FUNDING THROUGH THE MYCOMPANYCREDIT PORTAL
1. Client understands that they are purchasing software for the purpose of helping insure they meet lending credibility standards, helping them build business credit, and gain access to cash funding options. Client understands they might not be able to initially qualify for some, or any of the cash funding programs available through the portal.
2. Funding approval is based on factors such as collateral, revenue, financials, personal credit, and business credit quality.
3. Client understands that although their Advisor will ask questions about credit, company income, revenue, and other questions relating to pre-qualification, the Client cannot be fully approved until they go through a formal underwriting process.
4. Clients with lower consumer credit scores, no business credit scores, and no business collateral will not typically qualify initially for funding. Clients with legitimate business collateral and/or good personal or business credit have a better chance of securing initial funding, but still cannot be guaranteed they will be approved for initial funding.
