In 2008, Mr. Douglas formed his own consulting company to provide business development expertise to specific channels in the merchant services acquiring industry with credit card processing software, and subsequently merged that company with Merchant First of Marietta, Georgia.

We are looking to create more relationships with the 'Best of Breed' VAR channels and welcome their participation in our combined business development strategy," says Shawn Douglas.
