We had to apply for it, and it was a pretty stringent approval process. First, they did a credit check on me personally. They would have done it on my company, but since my company has been in business less than a year and doesn't have a credit rating yet, I had to pass one. Second, I had to send in about 123343 documents proving I would be using them for what I said I was using them for, including a signed letterhead from my client stating that they were providing me with debt. Then, they sent a 3rd party government approved agency out to my office to make sure that I was complient with all rules and laws, ie. having locking filing cabnits, having password protected computers, and a bunch of other stuff. We use a service called CBC, and our client provides us with a service called TLO. We couldn't qualify for TLO ourselves, because they won't even touch you until you've been open a year, no matter what. So in 11 months, we'll hopefully qualify for TLO ourselves as well.
