“Butch” Gilliam and “Rooster” McConaughey // The West Texas Investors Club

Self-made millionaires Mike “Rooster” McConaughey — brother of Oscar-winning actor Matthew — and Wayne “Butch” Gilliam made their fortunes deep in the heart of Texas. Now, they’re looking to share their wealth with other entrepreneurs by investing in their companies. Along with close friend Gil Prather, the investors invite ambitious entrepreneurs from across America to come to West Texas to make their case to secure funding for their ventures. Think of it as “Shark Tank” with cowboy hats instead of tailored suits. What the hopefuls don’t realize, though, is that a good product and a positive balance sheet aren’t enough to get an investment from McConaughey and Gilliam; the guys only make a deal after getting a true measure of an entrepreneur’s character.

The Facts of Factoring: Mark Little with Diversified Funding Services

00:00 /

Get the facts about factoring! On this episode of “On the Money“, host Joe Moss interviews Mark Little with Diversified Funding Services on how factoring can help a small business.

Mark Little/Diversified Funding Services

Factoring is a fast, easy and flexible way to improve your cash flow and generate working capital for your company. Through the power of factoring, you obtain immediate access to cash that is normally tied up for terms of up to 30, 60 or 90 days in your accounts receivable.

Diversified Funding Services was founded in 1998 by Mark Little with the mission to provide businesses the opportunity to obtain critically needed cash flow for their companies with Account Receivables financing, traditionally known as Factoring. To accomplish this mission, Diversified Funding Services carefully selected trustworthy, well-financed, highly qualified funding sources to meet the needs of most business that qualified for this powerful form of finance. Many business owners did not realize this powerful cash flow tool existed. Many bank clients have profitable and growing businesses, however they do not qualify for traditional bank financing, or the constraints are not flexible enough to allow them to grow to their potential.

Diversified Funding Services has now helped clients in very diverse industries receive funding from $10,000 a month to over $1,500,000 a month. Any business that provides a product or service to another business is a candidate for this cash flow tool. From start up to well-established companies, all they need are invoices to creditworthy clients to realize the benefits of partnering with Diversified Funding Services.
