“As publisher of the most widely-read daily newsletter to small business lenders in the country, I’ve tracked the emergence of innovative lenders over the past several years. There is a true disruption in the marketplace being caused by these lenders through their use of technology to acquire clients, qualify credit, perform due diligence, and fund loans with minimal human intervention. In this timely, well-written book, Charles puts this accelerating evolution of Main Street lending in context so that small business bankers will clearly understand how this new breed of lenders will positively, and negatively, change the world of small business lending.”
—Bob Coleman, Publisher, The Coleman Report

“Charles has done an outstanding job at reviewing the evolving landscape in small-business lending since the Great Recession.

This book is a must read for anyone interested in the landscape of small business finance.”
