Our assessment of the published programs

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Does my state and ownership structure qualify for this program?
  2. What fixed rate, origination fee and personal collateral would 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.
