AdvanceMe Named as Finalist in 2008 American Business Awards(SM)

6th Annual Stevie(R) Awards Will Be Presented on June 12 in New York City


ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2008) - AdvanceMe, Inc. (AMI), the nation's leading provider of Merchant Cash Advances (MCA) for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced it is a Finalist in the Best Marketing Campaign category of The 2008 American Business Awards. The American Business Awards is the only national, all-encompassing program of its kind honoring great performances in business.

Stevie Award winners will be announced during the annual gala on Thursday, June 12 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. More than 600 executives from across the U.S.A. are expected to attend. The ceremonies, hosted by Liz Claman of FOX Business Network, will be broadcast on radio nationwide by the Business TalkRadio Network.

More than 2,600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories, including Best Overall Company, Best Executive, Best New Product or Service, Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program, and new categories including Best Marketing Campaign, Best Management Team and Best Corporate Environmental Responsibility Program.

AdvanceMe's nomination into the Best Marketing Campaign category highlights a recent partnership with RBS Lynk, a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the oldest and largest financial institutions in the world. Knowing that cash flow is one of the most important challenges facing their small business customers, RBS Lynk partnered with co-market AdvanceMe's Merchant Cash Advance product to its significant customer base with a cadenced, multi-tactic touch point campaign. The overall campaign has been extremely successful, generating thousands of inbound calls in a short time period that resulted in hundreds of business owners successfully receiving the working capital needed to help manage and grow their businesses.

Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April through early May. Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie Award winners from among the Finalists.

"ABA entries grew more than 30 percent this year, so being named a Finalist is more of an accomplishment than ever before," said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. "It means that independent business executives have agreed that the nominee is worthy of national recognition. We congratulate all of the Finalists on their achievement and wish them well in the competition."

"We are honored to be a finalist in the 2008 American Business Awards," said Glenn Goldman, Chief Executive Officer of Capital Access Network, Inc., the parent company of AdvanceMe. "Our business is here to serve owners by providing needed working capital. Because of RBS Lynk's innovative and value-oriented customer approach, more small business owners were educated and approved for the capital they needed to keep their business running during this economically challenging time."
