Our Management Team

Founder & CEO

Bret Martin

Bret is quite active within Mom and Pop Business Funding, but at the end of the day, prefers working with and training the new sales staff as sales is where he cut his teeth and built his net worth and he's never lost tack of the excitement and opportunity associated with a sales position!

Thus there is no better person than the #1 Producer of all time in the Merchant Cash Advance industry aligned for this training position.

Bret is also acting CEO here at Mom and Pop Business Funding. 

President & 50/50 Partner of Bret Martin

Ashley Aldridge

Thousands upon thousands of salesmen (over 100,000 to be exact) took Bret's class but nobody left the impression on our acting CEO and Founder like Ashley did..., and that's why Bret chose to make Ashley a 50/50 partner about 6 or 7 years back.

Bret and Ash believe the Mom and Pop Business Funding brand should carry on after their deaths or retirement, so Ash has been on the lookout for his own replacement of late in the event of his untimely demise. Who knows? It could be you!

President of Recruiting 

LISA PARKER

Lisa is very active within Mom and Pop Business Funding, but at the end of the day, prefers working with and our recruiting staff and the new sales staff as this is where she cut her teeth with Bret 22 years ago in the mortgage industry and she's never lost tack of the excitement and opportunity associated with the 

sales position!

Thus there is no better person than Lisa to run this division as she was the #3 Producer of all time within our company selling merchant cash advance before she hung it up in 2011 and started Mom and Pop's 

recruiting division at Bret's suggested request. 

LIsa is sits on the board here at Mom and Pop Business Funding. 

President, Sales and Marketing

Grant Martin

Grant is quite active within Mom and Pop Business Funding to say the least, but at the end of the day, prefers working with and training the new sales staff as sales is where he cut his teeth with Mom and Pop Business Funding. Grant is one of the top producers to ever be in the Merchant Cash Advance Industry. He moved to New York from Portland Oregon the day after high school graduation in 2011 and never looked back. An Oregonian by birth, but a New Yorker at heart he is as tough as New Yorkers get so it would stand to reason that when his father (Bret Martin, CEO of Mom and Pop Business Funding) gave him a 45 minute lesson on how to sell merchant cash advances that Grant would pick it up quickly right? Sure enough, with only half a day left on day 1 Grant went on to land 5 applicants while riding around on his skateboard! 

That would be the way he spent his next six years until he was promoted in house! 

President of Funding Division. MBA

Sal

Sal heads our funding division from the standpoint of making sure we have liquidity and credit available at all time. Sal has been pushed harder to understand Bret Martin's money and credit philosophies. As Bret puts it, without credit I would have never became a business man, and without paying those creditors on time I would not have been able to achieve the credit lines and facilities we have. Whether it a $100MM credit facility or a $5MM credit line, Sal has us situated for the future at all times and the future looks bright!!!

Senior VP in Charge of Fundings

Samish, MBA 

This picture says it all. He's on the phone everyday all day, and he's great at it! In fact, when he isn't on the phone, the entire staff seems to look over at him looks somethings wrong! Money, money comes and money goes, it flows like ocean waves as Bret puts it, one moment the tide is in, one moment the tide is out. Samish and Sal know this, because Bret taught them the streets. They both took some time to buy into Bret's unconventional mindset when it came to borrowing money and doing so quickly, but once they got it, they new the Mom and Pop Business Model 

inside and out! Travel FAR, Travel LIGHT, but keep traveling as Bret puts it!!!
