When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Maui County businesses with a financing gap, including Lanaʻi firms fitting the designated program.

What to weigh carefully

  • Confirm each fund is accepting applications and which entity is the creditor.
  • Emergency and island-specific funds have different uses and limits; obtain current fees, security and repayment details.

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.
