## Resource

Most people are trying to make money the hard way. In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean sits down with Derrick to break down the world of business funding, corporate credit, C-Corps, banking, tax strategy, trade lines, shelf corporations, and how wealthy people think about capital differently. Derrick explains why he believes most entrepreneurs are building the wrong structure from day one, why the bank and IRS can become your “best friends” when you understand the game, and why a corporation should be treated like a real person with its own address, phone number, credit profile, officers, assets, and data points. They also get into business credit bureaus, Paydex scores, Experian business credit, SBA loans, crowdfunding, private placement memorandums, stock certificates, investor raises, real estate, and how influencers with large audiences may be sitting on massive funding opportunities. This episode is packed with high-level funding concepts, business structure ideas, and a totally different way of thinking about money, debt, leverage, and building companies. Watch until the end because Derek breaks down the three levels of business funding and why he believes social media creators, entrepreneurs, and business owners are missing the bigger play.
