Payment processing advisor for small businesses
About First Street Processing
Colorado merchant services advice from a local small business advisor
Hello, I’m Mike Daniel, founder of First Street Processing. We are your Colorado merchant services advisor. I specialize in working with small businesses. My goal is to provide you with the best payment processing solutions for your business.
I started FSP to put my years of financial services and business experience to work helping Colorado’s small business owners. I enjoy working with entrepreneurs, hearing your stories, and helping you choose the best merchant services solution for your business.
The merchant services industry does not always have the best reputation, and I understand why. Too many business owners have dealt with agents who show up to make the sale, push confusing terms or unnecessary leases, and disappear when service is needed.
FSP is different, we’re local, practical, transparent, and focused on long-term relationships. First Street Processing specializes in payment processing for small business owners.


What makes FSP different
Are you tired of pushy merchant services salespeople? Don’t worry, that’s not how I operate, I’m not here to pressure you into switching processors. I am here to help you understand your options.
When I review your current processing setup, I look at your rates, monthly fees, equipment, reporting, customer checkout process, PCI compliance, and whether your current system is helping or hurting your business.
Sometimes there is a clear opportunity to save money. Sometimes the bigger issue is outdated equipment, poor reporting, weak customer support, or a payment setup that no longer fits the business.
Either way, you get a straight answer. No pressure, no hassle.
Wondering where to start? Sometimes the best place to start is with a merchant services rate review.
How I help Colorado small businesses
First Street Processing helps small businesses with:
- Credit card processing rate reviews

My goal is not to sell you something you do not need. My goal is to help you understand what you are paying, where your fees may be hiding, and whether your current payment setup still makes sense for your business.

My promise
I will explain things clearly.
I will tell you if your current setup looks good.
I will tell you if I see a problem.
And I will never recommend a solution unless I believe it makes sense for your business.
If you have not reviewed your processing statement in the last year, a quick second opinion may be worth your time.
