The Partners in Business program is sponsored by TBS Factoring.

Find out what your bank offers for this service, which automatically draws from your savings account or credit card account to cover a bad check.

The Partners in Business program is produced by Overdrive and the consultants at ATBS, the nation’s largest owner-operator business services firm. The program is sponsored by TBS Factoring Service.
