When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Northwest Montana businesses with viable projects and a gap after available bank or owner funding.

What to weigh carefully

  • Confirm service-area eligibility, fund availability, owner contribution and bank participation.
  • No universal public loan limit or price is asserted; obtain project-specific terms.

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.
