Our assessment of the published programs

Wisconsin Native entrepreneurs willing to combine capital with the required business support.

What to weigh carefully

Confirm current interest, fee, borrower contribution and all first-lien requirements in writing.
Any possible loan forgiveness depends on completing the program and current eligibility; it is not automatic.

Questions before you accept an offer

Which program and legal financing entity will fund this request?
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.
