Selecting the right payment processor can make or break your business, whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or just starting out. As the founder of a privately owned credit card processing company, I've seen that it's a choice that goes beyond mere convenience; it can impact your business' efficiency, profitability and long-term success.

Turning a business idea into a thriving, million-dollar company is a dream for many. However, the journey from inception to success can be riddled with challenges and uncertainties.

Hire the right people. Find employees that have a drive and care about your company’s success rather than someone who is there to pick up their next paycheck.

We've all been in situations where a close friend or family member approaches you for help setting up credit card processing for their new side hustle or small, part-time business. When you ask them how much they expect to process per month, they respond, "I dunno, maybe $300 to $3,000 per month."

Many restaurants will find themselves in a position where they must ask themselves “What can I do to get customers in the front door? How can I keep my space safe? What processes will help me weather this new storm?”
