When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Entrepreneurs in AEDS’s service area who want financing paired with structured business preparation.

What to weigh carefully

  • The site lists Minnesota and Oregon locations; confirm local product coverage.
  • Rates, collateral and fees require a product-specific quote.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Does my business location qualify for direct lending?
  2. Is training required before my application can be reviewed?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.

Alternatives to research
