Greetings Sue,  I agree with you!,   I'v been in business for a while now and 
have applied many places, with mostly 2-300 $ charge for the application fee 
and because of my low level of charges, I'v basically been turned down! Now 
Novus,on the other hand, faxed me an application, just last Monday, I was 
approved on wednesday, and actually today they are delivering the trans 330 
terminal I ordered!   Their was no charge until I was approved, and it was 
only $50 application fee, plus 35 bucks to program the terminal the first 
time!
Couldn't be simpler! no hassel from what I can tell so far, I'v already taken 
2 charges and called them in for approval, last wk and the credit has already 
been placed in my business account!...  looked like it's only 4 day 
turnaround from charge submittal to basically having the cash in hand 
TTYL   regards     Joel
