- 0:59Speaker 3: Dulce Junior. Hermann, It's great to have you on the show.
- 1:02Speaker 3: So in this day and age, all we hear about
- 1:05Speaker 3: is funding. You know, campaign promises all that, but in
- 1:09Speaker 3: the end, funding your business is really up to you,
- 1:12Speaker 3: isn't it.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, Cary, thank you so much for having me
- 1:15Speaker 1: on the show. First of all, I really appreciate it.
- 1:17Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm eighty percent of businesses fail within the
- 1:21Speaker 1: curse five years. One of the main reasons because a
- 1:24Speaker 1: lack of capital and lack of funding. So here, I
- 1:27Speaker 1: bet it's on enterprises. We like to teach and help small, medium,
- 1:31Speaker 1: large businesses, startups get the funding that they need so
- 1:34Speaker 1: that they can thrive and survive. All right, So how'd
- 1:37Speaker 1: you wind up getting into this kind of niche field here?
- 1:41Speaker 1: So short story made long. My wife and I have
- 1:46Speaker 1: been married eleven wonderful years. My wife Janelle, we actually
- 1:49Speaker 1: took a baby moon, and that's a trip that you
- 1:52Speaker 1: take before your first kid comes, right, so had Italy
- 1:56Speaker 1: and I had to take time off of work to
- 1:59Speaker 1: do that, to take a full two weeks. When I
- 2:01Speaker 1: got back, I was telling my brother how disappointed I
- 2:03Speaker 1: was because I wasn't able to spend time with my
- 2:05Speaker 1: wife afterwards, and he told me, unless you own your
- 2:08Speaker 1: own you'll never be free, So start start something. And
- 2:11Speaker 1: I was like, what am I going to start? And
- 2:13Speaker 1: he is like that credit you do. Stop doing it
- 2:15Speaker 1: for free. He's like, they're going to pay somebody, they
- 2:18Speaker 1: might as well pay you. So I got a couple
- 2:20Speaker 1: of my friends and my family. I fixed their credit
- 2:22Speaker 1: for free, posted that on Idia, got my first clients,
- 2:25Speaker 1: went on YouTube University to hold my craft just a
- 2:28Speaker 1: little bit more, and fell into the business funding space.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I learned a lot about it, brought that back to
- 2:33Speaker 1: the clients who already got their credit fits. And then
- 2:36Speaker 1: when you start teaching people how to get twenty thirty thousand,
- 2:38Speaker 1: forty fifty thousand in their business name and it doesn't
- 2:41Speaker 1: report to the personal well, then it does kind of
- 2:43Speaker 1: crazy from there, all right.
- 2:44Speaker 3: So when you say funding is this debt? Equity has
- 2:49Speaker 3: this work.
- 2:50Speaker 1: So this is debt. So just like you can get
- 2:52Speaker 1: credit cards in your personal name, because you know in
- 2:55Speaker 1: America nobody really teaches you financial literacy that it can
- 2:58Speaker 1: be bully debt can be get double ed shortz. Debt
- 3:01Speaker 1: was created. Credit was created to leverage to buy assets
- 3:05Speaker 1: or things that make you money. That's its purpose. That's
- 3:08Speaker 1: how Instagram started to Facebook, Google. These big companies, you
- 3:11Speaker 1: leverage debt to do that. So we teach you how
- 3:13Speaker 1: to get the debt in the business name, and then
- 3:16Speaker 1: they can invest in their real estate deals, their startup company,
- 3:19Speaker 1: teacher company, tech company, whatever it is. We got a
- 3:21Speaker 1: lot of people from different walks that come to us
- 3:23Speaker 1: and they have a great idea, but they just don't
- 3:25Speaker 1: have the capital to do it. And we love helping
- 3:27Speaker 1: people get that startup capital. Instead of using that ten
- 3:30Speaker 1: grand to spend on Black Friday with consumeris on, we
- 3:33Speaker 1: teach them how to use that same money and invest it.
- 3:36Speaker 3: So that's kind of the Robert Kiyosaki Good debt, bad debt,
- 3:40Speaker 3: I said, it is something that helps you buy something
- 3:43Speaker 3: you really can't afford. Good debt is debt that helps
- 3:49Speaker 3: you buy assets that generate cash flow. And exactly right
- 3:54Speaker 3: on the nose, all right, So tell us some of
- 3:56Speaker 3: your success stories.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Love to hear oh wow. So we've been doing it
- 4:00Speaker 1: for eight years and our company, Bellosone Enterprises has proudly
- 4:04Speaker 1: we have probably funded over one hundred million dollars to
- 4:07Speaker 1: our clients. So we've done really well over the past
- 4:09Speaker 1: ten years. And through our financial literacy company, Bellowstone Academy,
- 4:14Speaker 1: because people are like, oh, can you teach me what
- 4:16Speaker 1: you do? We have helped over one hundred people with
- 4:19Speaker 1: their full time jobs started the businesses and we have
- 4:23Speaker 1: created seven millionaires in the past ten years, so the
- 4:27Speaker 1: resume is really good by people who have taken this information,
- 4:30Speaker 1: this education, and have executed on it and the rest
- 4:33Speaker 1: is up to them. They've been doing really well.
- 4:35Speaker 3: That's a great record there to interest rates, so your
- 4:40Speaker 3: client's paying.
- 4:42Speaker 1: For the death. So the benefit of what I teach
- 4:45Speaker 1: is the business credit cards that they're getting, whether it's Chased,
- 4:48Speaker 1: American Express or smaller credit unions that are in your
- 4:51Speaker 1: area of Philadelphia, Federal Credit Union. These interests on these
- 4:55Speaker 1: credit cards, we like to teach get cheap money right,
- 4:58Speaker 1: So these are zero percent interest for up to a year,
- 5:02Speaker 1: so it's a great startup appital that is minimal risk,
- 5:06Speaker 1: minimal interest on them.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Now.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Of course, when a zero percent runs out, it jumps
- 5:09Speaker 1: up to eighteen ninety twenty percent depending on your credit score.
- 5:13Speaker 1: But by that time two options. The first option is
- 5:16Speaker 1: your business is thriving and you should have paid that
- 5:17Speaker 1: money back for the twelve months. And the second option
- 5:20Speaker 1: we teach them how to get even more business credit
- 5:22Speaker 1: cards so that they can transfer to a balanced transfer
- 5:25Speaker 1: to another zero percent interest credit cards. So you're buying
- 5:27Speaker 1: yourself a little bit more time.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Okay, well buy that. And so business credit cards are
- 5:33Speaker 3: they different than getting consumer credit cards?
- 5:36Speaker 1: They're much different. They operate the same same site, same
- 5:40Speaker 1: zero percent interest, but you get the same rewards, same
- 5:42Speaker 1: cash back. But the main reason why I pushed this
- 5:47Speaker 1: and I teach this is for two main reasons. Number one,
- 5:49Speaker 1: the credit limits are a lot higher on the business side,
- 5:53Speaker 1: So like I have a Best Buy personal and the
- 5:55Speaker 1: Best Buy a business credit card. My best Buy personal
- 5:57Speaker 1: credit card is about eight thousand. My business credit card
- 6:01Speaker 1: it's about forty thousand. Because lenders understand that businesses need
- 6:05Speaker 1: more capital, so the limits are a lot higher to
- 6:07Speaker 1: start with on the business side. And the second most
- 6:09Speaker 1: important part is that the debt does not show up
- 6:12Speaker 1: on your personal credit repork. That's the real beauty of it.
- 6:15Speaker 1: So you know, I did a real estate deal with
- 6:18Speaker 1: a line of credit that I had, and it was
- 6:19Speaker 1: on the business side. We maxed it out the fifty
- 6:21Speaker 1: thousand dollars to put a down payment and purchase a
- 6:24Speaker 1: property right got hard money lending to do the rest
- 6:27Speaker 1: of it. But that fifty thousand didn't show up on
- 6:29Speaker 1: my credit work. So my eight hundred credit work credit
- 6:31Speaker 1: score was intact and I was able to still do
- 6:35Speaker 1: what I needed to do without it personally affecting my credit.
- 6:38Speaker 3: But we definitely like to hear stories like yours. I mean,
- 6:42Speaker 3: what's the downside of business credit?
- 6:44Speaker 1: Then? Do you pay any higher rates.
- 6:46Speaker 3: When you actually have to start paying or you look
- 6:50Speaker 3: to refinance At that point you've gotten enough enough credit there,
- 6:55Speaker 3: I guess that you've been able to get on your foot,
- 6:58Speaker 3: like you said, and start to having a business that.
- 7:03Speaker 1: The cash he makes some money. Yeah, that actually makes money,
- 7:06Speaker 1: so absolutely well. I've been doing this for over ten years,
- 7:09Speaker 1: so it's not just getting the credit, is having a
- 7:13Speaker 1: business plan, a marketing plan, and the team around you
- 7:15Speaker 1: to help you turn that debt into cash flow. So
- 7:19Speaker 1: whatever debt we get, we turn it around pretty quickly.
- 7:22Speaker 1: But I like to stress this, and I think you're
- 7:24Speaker 1: alluding to it being responsible with the debt that you get,
- 7:27Speaker 1: because just how consumer debt could eat you alive, business
- 7:29Speaker 1: credit could eat you alive too, because if you don't pay,
- 7:31Speaker 1: the debt charges off, goes into collection. They then put
- 7:35Speaker 1: it on your personal credit profile at that point. So
- 7:39Speaker 1: anything you want to be responsible with the money, have
- 7:41Speaker 1: a plan with it, and execute on it efficiently.
- 7:43Speaker 3: So there's a reason that debt is a four letter word. Right,
- 7:47Speaker 3: very good, carry, absolutely and absolutely because you know the
- 7:52Speaker 3: problem with debt as opposed to equity is that's got
- 7:55Speaker 3: to be paid back. And you know, if you've got
- 7:59Speaker 3: a decent credits scor, you can do it. But how
- 8:02Speaker 3: do you switch all your consumer debt to business debt?
- 8:05Speaker 3: Is there a way to do that? You could actually
- 8:07Speaker 3: do that. A lot of my mentees have gotten pretty
- 8:10Speaker 3: savvy with it. So say, for instance, there are a
- 8:12Speaker 3: couple of thousand in debt on the personal side. If
- 8:15Speaker 3: you're eligible, and the debt on.
- 8:16Speaker 1: The personal side, it's not too crazy, you will get
- 8:19Speaker 1: funded on the business side. So what they do is,
- 8:21Speaker 1: just like any credit card with zero percent interest, they
- 8:24Speaker 1: balance transfer the debt from the personal to the business side.
- 8:28Speaker 1: So now their credit uniices decreases even more significantly, their
- 8:32Speaker 1: credit scores go up, and now you've actually helped yourself.
- 8:35Speaker 1: But as the debt is a lot cheaper, you're not
- 8:37Speaker 1: paying that twenty percent that was on the personal side.
- 8:39Speaker 1: It's on a zero percent interest credit card. Interesting.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Interesting, All right, Well, I know you people out there
- 8:44Speaker 3: are going to want to talk to herman. Herman, how
