When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Businesses in EMDC’s service area seeking gap finance or a bank partnership.

What to weigh carefully

  • The page publishes different SBA-specific terms; do not apply direct-loan prepayment language to every SBA product.
  • Eligibility includes citizenship/permanent residence, bankruptcy history and federal-loan default screens.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Does my location and ownership meet the program rules?
  2. Which direct or SBA structure best suits the asset and cash flow?

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.
