When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Regional businesses needing fixed-asset financing or a smaller gap loan alongside other capital.

What to weigh carefully

  • Program geographic coverage and eligibility may differ; confirm the selected fund can serve the business.
  • SBA and bank portions have separate terms; obtain the current structure and owner contribution.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Which program and legal financing entity will fund this request?
  2. What security, owner contribution, fees and repayment conditions apply?

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.
