They're a well-established small finance company. PayPal recently bought them and they've integrated with eBay sellers (not sure what the qualifications are to get approved though; all my stuff is such low-ticket it's hard to imagine anybody looking for financing on it.)"Failure is not when you fall down.

I don't have any personal experience with emerchant, but in regards to billmelater. Looks like you need to establish an account before you can email them as it is a secure login to do so.Marc Ransom

Just a nit, but you can't always go by domain age as a guide for how long a company has been in business. eMerchant's about page says they've been in business since 2002; old copies of the site from Archive.org show that it used to be a different kind of operation -- so at some point eMerchant acquired the domain name and started using it. 2002 is a long time in internet years -- just pointing out that simply running a whois will not always serve you well in trying to perform due diligence. I own many dormant domains that have been continually registered for eight, nine, ten year or more -- any site put on them might -appear- to a casual searcher to have been online since then."Failure is not when you fall down.

Sometimes you can't do much more than trust them, but some places to check include the WHOIS of course, the web archive at Archive.org, the BBB if they're in the US. Sometimes you can get results looking in business directories online, or Googling for news stories related to the company etc. but that is a hit-and-miss effort."Failure is not when you fall down.

Sure, there are tons of companies either not registered with the BBB, or who don't pay much attention to their record. I mention it simply as a potential source of some feedback. RipOffReport.com can provide information too, but of course it's plagued by false or out of date reports. What I mean is, use various sources, from the WHOIS record to other sites mentioned, to try to create a thumbnail of a company with whom you're considering doing business."Failure is not when you fall down.

Not really ... just trial-and-error over the years has led me to use some sources for basic info, and to pay close attention to what people are saying about the company at forums."Failure is not when you fall down. Failure is when you don't get back up."
