It's a full service banking platform - just like you'd have at any other bank with interest bearing accounts, the ability to set up multiple accounts and sub-accounts, issue virtual credit cards and more.  

When our affiliates are using the company for business cards, door knocking, managing leads, performing acquisition, or disposition with our company does the LLC provide them protection?

I do not like more entities because it means more bank account numbers, credit cards, debit cards, check books, etcBest of luck

I use KeyCheck, a FF affiliate, for background checks, lease agreements (available for all 50 states) and electronic signing, and payment processing including credit/debit card payments.

Thanks Ned, Short answer to explain it, I did not know they were around back then, just found out now when we are coming back, a little background, when I started in 2005, I was a child :) 28 years old and thought I knew it all, all, all :), did not know about hard money lending, only new about bank loans, and Home equity lines of credit, did not know where to find more money, since I did not have much, I would rely on what I could get from banks, loans, credit cards and was not always that great, it was a learning experience.....and Wholesalers, I did not know that even existed, everything I would find back then was already on the market and through a "friend" agent, MLS, FMLS and all those, nothing like what we have today.

I would pay off everything else first; credit cards, car loan, personal loan, college loans.
