Less competition from the large factoring companies can equal more opportunity.

Just ask Jeff Callender, founder of Dash Point Financial Services.  He went from start-up cash flow broker to small business factoring funder in just a few short years.

Jeff generously shares his tips for success gained from real life experience.  In addition to his acclaimed Small Factors Book series, he provides workshop instruction at factoring trainings and association meetings.

Here’s a look at an upcoming workshop designed especially for small business factoring.
