For All Ice Bucket Challenge Haters
"The Ice Bucket Challenge phenomenon has been an interesting one to see unfold. It stands to reason that when something becomes so massively viral, there will be vocal critics who will come out against it, especially during a time when there is a lot going on in the media that is based around pervasive societal issues including war and racial bias.

Finding an alternative lender that is willing to work with a business based on relationships is tough, but not an impossible task, and it is still often easier to achieve than finding a traditional loan program. Thanks for the insight. "Subscribe
