When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Georgia businesses creating jobs in underserved communities, or eligible rural microbusinesses.

What to weigh carefully

  • Confirm the selected fund, coverage, contribution, guarantees and available capital.
  • Some amortization may exceed loan maturity, so ask whether a balloon remains at the end of the term.

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.

Alternatives to research

These are options for a related financing need, not a ranking or a claim of equivalent eligibility or pricing.
