# Steele Solutions

> Family-run merchant services brokerage based in Branson, Missouri. Founded by Jim and Kim Steele. Serves the Ozarks region with five integrated service lines: POS systems, credit card processing, ATM placements, small business lending, and CSSI cost segregation studies. Independent broker model means we are not locked to a single processor and we shop your account on every line.

## About

Steele Solutions is an independent merchant services brokerage serving Branson, the Ozarks tri-lakes region, southwest Missouri, and northwest Arkansas. Jim and Kim Steele founded the business in 2024. The brokerage model means Jim and Kim are not employees of any single processor — they shop multiple banks, ISOs, and lenders on each client's behalf, then stay on as the same point of contact for the life of the account.

Free statement audit (no obligation) is the primary entry point. Send your most recent merchant processor statement to steelesolutions4u@gmail.com and you receive a written, line-by-line audit within two business days.
