Fraudulent ACH Charge…

I received a fraudulent ACH charge from this company in the amount of $595. I contacted the company to find out what the charge was for. I received no response. I have never done business with this company before.

This company appears to be engaged in fraudulent activities

I have no idea who this company is and have never done any business with this firm whatsoever. However, they somehow found our checking account number and either mistakenly or fraudulently initiated a series of 8 ACH deductions of $189.00 from our account. They have failed to make any response whatsoever when contacted regarding these deductions and return of these ill gotten funds. Statements made on various sites by a number of other people lead me to believe that this is the manner in which they conduct their business on a regular and ongoing basis. I intend to contact the appropriate regulatory and law enforcement agencies to request an investigation into the dealings of this company.

I am extremely pleased with the Business Finance Advantage Plan! They helped my business secure an additional $8,000 back from the IRS and improved my personal credit in less than nine months. The service costs $489 per month, and it’s worth every penny. I'm also adding their payroll processing service, which will increase my monthly fee by $200. However, since my current payroll cost is over $600 monthly, this will actually save me money. Highly recommend their services!

$289 is an absolute bargain for what they provide for us. They have gotten over 20,000 back from the IRS and dropped our merchant services fees by over 400 a month. They also never charge us a fee whenever we get merchant, cash advance from them, I thoroughly enjoy working with James and I’m so glad my original broker turned me onto these guys

Big Savings & Great Service with First Meridian Financial!

I've been using First Meridian Financial's Business Finance Advantage Plan since 2022, and I gotta say, it's been a game changer. I pay $1595 a month, and honestly, it's worth every penny. Here's why:

First off, they've slashed my merchant processing fees by around $800 a month. That's a big deal for my bottom line. It's like getting a discount every month just for being smart about who I partner with.

Then there's the ERC tax credit thing. They helped me get back $452,000, and they didn't snatch a huge chunk of it as their fee. I talked to other firms before, and all of them wanted to take 15-20% off the top. Not First Meridian, though. They played it straight with me, which I really appreciate.

Loans? Yeah, I've gotten three through them since I signed up. And guess what? No extra fees. Other places nickel and dime you, but not these guys. I figure I've saved at least another $15,000 because they don't pile on the fees.

The service is top-notch, too. It's not just about the money I've saved; it's how they treat me. I feel like they really care about my business and want to see me succeed. Every time I've needed something, they've been there, quick and professional.

So, yeah, if you're on the fence about signing up, I'd say go for it. The savings are real, and the service is fantastic. Best business decision I've made in a long time.

Best Business Lender Ever!!!

Awesome company. I worked with Vince and he was on top of everything with quick responses. Helped me secure financing for my client after he was turned down by others . Very detailed and I will continue to do business with him and First Meridian Financial. Keep up the good work!
