Brex has disrupted the conventional credit model. By rebuilding the technology from scratch, they’ve reimagined underwriting so it doesn’t require personal guarantees. Brex assesses companies based on factors that matter – like cash in the bank and activity in the business
No. You haven't disrupted anything. You are doing what almost every single bank does when they issue a business line of credit. Cash in bank and business activity.
All you guys did was go after a market that has ZERO idea about how to talk to a bank and then secured a large number of customers within that market. And as another commentator said, once a startup grows, they will secure the best terms they can find. Good luck.
- fipple 8y agoA lot of business lines of credit for small companies are personally backed.
- asah 8y agoCan confirm. This was a MAJOR issue for my last startup and affected a ton of decisions. Even the SBA (small business administration) requires personal guarantees, i.e. you're loaning money to yourself but giving someone else the interest.
