How long does the process take?

How does the interview work?
The telephone interview will be about 1 hour long. We will be discussing the details of your business, as well as your financial projections.

What kind of financial information do I need before I start my plan?
You will need to know accurate estimates of your start-up costs, how much you plan on paying yourself and employees, what the on-going costs or your business will be and how much you expect to sell. We will then organize that and create your financial charts and graphs, including profit and loss and break-even analysis.

What kind of research will you do?
We will do research of the market area you will be serving, as well as demographics of your customers. We will also research the industry that you are going into and see financially how that industry is currently progressing.

Do you guarantee that I will receive a loan?
Unfortunately because it is ultimately the lender's decision, we cannot guarantee that you will receive a loan. You should be leery of competitors that advertise a guarantee of funding - this is false. Those companies are not looking out for the best interest of your business.

Can I send you what I've already started on with my own plan or any other documents that I have?
