When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Qualifying West Virginia businesses undertaking job-supporting fixed-asset projects.

What to weigh carefully

  • Official sources conflict on amount range: the program page says $150,000–$10 million, while more recent official articles advertise different minimums and up to $15 million; confirm the current range.
  • Funding is described as a takeout after project completion, so interim financing and guarantees may be required.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. What current loan ceiling and participation tier apply?
  2. What interim finance, equity, job commitments and guarantees are needed?

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.
