Hi there, We are very sorry to read about your experience. We want to be incredibly clear: Become does not sell customer data to third parties. We only share information with our permitted, trusted lending partners specifically to help fulfill the funding requests our customers submit. We take your privacy and the "harassment" you mentioned very seriously. We have attempted to look into your case, but we cannot locate an account under the name "localcoffeeguy." We would like to get to the bottom of this immediately. Please contact us at [email protected] so we can identify your file, see exactly what happened, and help resolve this for you.

Hi Alfred, This is Eden, the CEO here at Become. We appreciate your feedback and want to do whatever we can to help address the issues you've raised. Regarding advertisements, we did have several funding partners that offered funding in the form of government guarantee scheme loans, but the program itself officially ended June 30, 2021. We have since ceased all advertising for that specific type of funding. If you have seen an ad of ours that mentioned the government guarantee scheme after the program's end date, please let us know. You can send a screenshot to [email protected] of the ad you're referring to. In any case, when the program was active, there was no way to tell whether an applicant would qualify with those specific funding partners for that specific form of funding until they completed the application process - the same is true for all types of funding in our online marketplace. Qualifying factors inevitably vary from one lender/form of funding to the next, which is the reason why you may have received funding offers that did not include a government guarantee. Additionally, we do want to clearly state that we never pressure applicants to proceed with obtaining a business loan through our online marketplace. The decision to sign for a business loan is left in the hands of the applicants themselves. Furthermore, we noticed that you recently renewed the loan you took earlier this year, and we would like to keep you as a loyal user of our services. Please allow us the opportunity to discuss these matters with you by sending us an email to [email protected], and (to reiterate) we will do everything we can to help resolve the issues you've raised. Best regards, Eden

Hi Matt, Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you weren't happy with our process. Our main goal is to save our customers time and only provide funding opportunities that are relevant to their business, which is also what we advertise. In order to do so, we request company details and information that is required by our lenders. Moreover, one of the steps in the process is to read and provide consent for Become to process this data, which is fully secured. Users who don't feel comfortable leaving these details are able to stop the application at any point. Our process is very transparent and the terms and conditions are available to read prior to leaving any information. Every customer agrees to our T&Cs before leaving their details. If you were looking for more general information and not specific loan offers, then you could find that in detail on our website https://www.become.co/blog/reviews/. Warm regards, Team Become
