Writing

Written for the people who fund, not for the people who need funding.

Everything here is written for the institution on the funding side of the transaction: the credit officer, the operations principal, the controller, the collections manager. Not for a business trying to decide whether to factor its receivables.

That distinction is why this page exists at all. Almost everything published about this industry is written to attract borrowers, which leaves the people actually running the operations reading marketing intended for their clients.

5 clusters

Everything published, most recent first.

Each piece names who it is for and which part of the platform it belongs to, because an article that cannot say who should read it usually should not have been written.

By cluster

Every article belongs to a part of the platform.

If a piece cannot be attached to a workflow somebody actually runs, it is a content marketing exercise rather than writing. The cluster is declared in the article itself and this list is derived from it.

Editorial position

Three rules, and the reason each one exists.

The reader is the lender. Every piece is written for the institution that advances the money. Where a topic is normally covered from the borrower’s side, we rewrite it from the funder’s side rather than publishing a version of it that would be useless to the person reading. Two of the articles here exist precisely because their borrower facing originals used to rank and taught search engines the wrong thing about this domain.

No number without a source. There are no accuracy rates, no percentage improvements and no industry statistics in this writing, because we are not able to source them and a plausible figure is not a source. Where a claim would be useful and cannot be supported, it is written qualitatively or it is left out.

Every piece has to be useful to someone who never becomes a customer. The test we apply before publishing is whether an operator would send it to a colleague. If the only reason to read something is that it ends in a request for a demonstration, it is an advertisement and it does not go here.
