Stay away. There’s absolutely no effort put into actual fulfillment. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to double or triple e-mail them to get some kind of a response that was clearly a template or AI generated to kick the can down the road. Barely feels like I’m interacting with actual humans who I paid for a particular service. I’m usually more understanding about operational issues owning a business myself, but this degree of carelessness leaving a client repeatedly on read is ridiculous. The “founder” cancels meetings for no apparent reason. Offers to instead connect with an “account manager” but never actually follows through on that. Can’t take a 30 min call to fulfill a service he was paid for, but the guy has enough time to continue marketing his “business” on social media. Currently, this is my only means of reaching out to anyone from DBF, as any direct contact never gets responded to. Will likely start looking into chargebacks and contacting financing companies they work with to get my money back. Overall, not only will you not get the service you paid for, you’ll also lose a lot of time trying to get your money back so you can work with a company who will actually does what they say you’ll do.

I signed up for the Funding Accelerator Program expecting professional funding consulting. What I received instead was explicit advice from their team to submit false and significantly inflated information on lender applications — overstating income, revenue, employees, and expenses. This strategy was never mentioned anywhere in the contract. When I refused to continue and asked to cancel for a refund, they declined and insisted I keep going. I understand funding takes time, but being coached to lie to banks crossed a serious line both morally and legally. I would strongly advise anyone considering this company to look elsewhere. **Adding for context after the public comment made by Direct Business Funding: They already had my specific, actual income information in hand and still specifically "advised" me to increase it by more than 50%. They also told me to inflate my business revenue projections to nearly 3 times what my business can realistically make, without ever asking for my real projections first. While I understand it was ultimately my choice to click submit, their paid consultation and recommended strategy explicitly directed me to provide false and significantly inflated information on multiple fields. This approach was never disclosed anywhere in the contract I signed. ***Adding more context after their latest edit to their public comment: They say I have an "outstanding invoice" I only received today, and it is for $60. Meanwhile they are refusing to refund any of the $6,000 I already paid them, even though nowhere in the signed contract does it disclose that their "consultation" and "advising" would involve instructing me to provide false and inflated information to lenders.

would like to share another part of my experience with this company. In November, I ordered services from them, but the service was never delivered. They kept rescheduling and telling me to wait for another date. However, whenever I called the company, no one answered the phone and they never called me back. When I sent emails, they sometimes took a week or even a month to respond. Their customer service has been extremely unprofessional and irresponsible. They consistently missed appointments and failed to follow through on their promises. This situation has been ongoing for about four months now. During this time, I have still been charged approximately 299 dollars every month. Before that, they had me sign a contract for 24 months, which now feels like a trap because they continue charging while not delivering the services they promised. I am sharing this experience so others can be aware and be careful before signing any contracts with this company.

I am writing this review to document my experience and to encourage accountability. After enrolling in this program about 6 months ago and signing a financing agreement, the only thing provided was an initial introductory class. Beyond that, there has been no structured implementation, no execution support, and no meaningful delivery of the services that were represented during the sales process. Access to Slack or other promised communication channels did not result in real guidance, follow-up, or actionable support. Attempts to engage did not lead to any measurable progress or program fulfillment. This is particularly concerning given the financial commitment required. When a company accepts payment under a retail installment contract, there should be clear, ongoing delivery of the promised services. In my experience, that has not occurred. I have formally requested cancellation due to failure to deliver services. I hope the company takes responsibility and resolves this matter appropriately. Prospective customers should conduct thorough due diligence and obtain clear written expectations regarding deliverables and support before entering into any agreement.
