When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Local founders who need both capital and business coaching.

What to weigh carefully

  • Catalyst requires advisory participation and ongoing financial and impact reporting; funding availability applies.
  • Credit history is reviewed even without a minimum score; no personal collateral does not establish whether a guarantee is required.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Is Catalyst accepting applications and would funding be phased?
  2. What fees, guarantees and interest accrual apply during the initial payment deferral?

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.
