Our vision is to provide excellent underwriting and loss control recognition up front, and to ensure superior customer service. Our company was founded in June of 2005 by John Harris IV. Having been in direct sales for 17 years and financing with many other companies, his original vision was to develop a direct sales finance program that would allow him a greater percent of profit for his sales co
mpany. Starting small and slow, he soon realized that with today's technologies and the growth of his own distributorship that it was time to make a move.We hired our first employee, Cara Bloom, who is now the C.O.O of our company. Six months later, we invited a fellow distributor friend to finance with us, and word started to spread! A good thing doesn't stay quiet for long, and with more distributors asking to sign on, we realized our little company was heading in the right direction. Belmont was created by a direct sales distributor who wanted to be treated fair and honest in his daily business activities. We didn't envision there would be so many distributors looking for that same relationship. Our industry is a dynamic and fast-paced business, so we developed a finance program to meet direct sales distributors' needs. Belmont's vision was to start small and simple with its main focus on customer service, not only for the owner and his new-found business growth, but most importantly for the borrower. By the end of 2008, Belmont Finance had grown to 36 distributors in 9 different states. We started to realize that our success wasn't ours at all. It was the distributors that were doing all of the hard work in the field, working 10 - 12 hour days and 6 - 7 days a week. Our original finance model not only stood the test of the most difficult economy of our generation, it also helped with the growth of our participating businesses. By the end of 2010, Belmont had tripled in size to over 120 distributors in 18 states. It was time to add on to the business. We completed a 4,000 square foot addition in 2011 and went from 6 employees to 18 with room to grow. And grow we did; from one small, simple business plan, we split Belmont into both Credit and Finance companies. Belmont will again double our size by the end of 2013. We are excited about our growth and would be honored for your direct sales company to be a part of us. Belmont believes that if we keep our eyes on the company's vision, we can achieve great numbers together. To His glory,
John Harris IV, CEO
