I agree with you all, and had problems of my own with them. I've thought about rewriting this review, but I think your comments are doing the right thing. I may just end up writing an update on the post itself to clarify my new position. They are indeed not a good company. Thanks everyone for your comments!

I tried out Go Big network and got nothing but spam mail and phone calls. I had about two actual calls but almost everyday, multiple times per day I recieved spam calls and no one answering when I pick up. Also I had a funeral this weekend and when I met up with some close friends I found out they have been calling me only to get forwarded to Go Big Network's company. Apparently this has been happening ever since I signed up and Go Big claims it has nothing to do with their company. I've been told by a representative to contact my phone company since they most likely are responsible. Since the time I called I haven't heard anything from them. No email, obviously no phone calls.

I had a account opened with them and they did nothing but ruin my companies name. Do not trust them with your information!! After a couple months with opening my account ,I did my research and all they tell you is lies. They kept telling me to have patience but all along they screwed up my account. They will try to sign you up for a premier builder package but the sales person just tells you so much bs. I have to close my bank account because I do not trust this company at all,I was scared they might try to take out of my sccount after cancelling. If you want to build your business credit ,please do not trust them. All they will do is waste your money and time. Go Big is huge fruad,they do not know how to establish business credit.

The biggest drawbacks for me were as follows: 1. There are two different fees if you want to post a request for funding and then if you want to be able to contact the investors you're matched with. Maybe this is a new feature and their way of making more money, I found it annoying and very unclear. Fortunately, they have amazing customer service and they hooked me up with the second feature free of charge. 2. This site is a godsend if you have the right business model for the most sought after industry. I'm not in any way saying that this is GBN's fault, but it didn't seem to facilitate the needs of the little guy as much as I had hoped. I had 2 different business plans, one for a high end retail boutique in Los Angeles and a second for a mobile spa company. The first plan called for $250k in investments, the second for $50k. I had no takers. All of the matches that were sent to me weren't really matches at all, which was the only thing I can fault GBN for. To circumvent this problem, I would suggest GBN doing more advertising in different industries so that there is a more diversified pool of investors that can adequately address the needs of borrowers. Other than that, it's a great site and has tons of potential. I’ve used GBN twice now for different ventures. The biggest drawbacks for me were as follows:

If he goes to his bank and tells them the issue, they will usually fix the problem. I had to do that as well. It does work well that way. Yana, I had a similar problem.

They weren't supposed to charge his card until the 7th day. He decided not to go forward with the service and tried to cancel on the fifth day, only he found that they charged it the first day. He has been unable to get a refund. BEWARE!!! My Associate, Curt, tried the 7 day free trial. They weren’t supposed to charge his card until the 7th day.

I filled out the application and could not move on to step two. The "go to step 2" button kep sending me back to the beginning of the application and wiped out everything I had written. I don't thing I will trust it. GO Big Network is not a good source, at least not by my experiences. I filled out the application and could not move on to step two.

When people write news articles and the company changes, does the news agency remove their publications from print? Nope. Same thing here. This is a publishing platform and I have no reason to retract it. That's what things like comments are for, to update people. :) Thanks for updating people.
