When Sean Harper needed a credit card processor for his first company, he signed up for the first one he saw. He ended up being swindled into tens of thousands of dollars of charges and paid almost twice the amount they expected to the first year.
That’s when Sean knew there was a problem. And after some initial research, he realized it was a problem he could build a business around. So Sean and his co-founder created FeeFighters.com.
