How it works
The pre-application is designed to be simple. It will take around 10 minutes to fill out. There is no cost and no obligation to apply.
Upon completion of the form, you will be matched to a variety of lenders depending on factors such as your stage of business, geographic location and capital need. You will also be provided with the option to connect with business service providers who can help guide your business through the application process and answer other questions you and your team may have about accessing a loan from one of our partners.
The rest is in your hands. You will have the option to choose the lender and/or technical assistance provider that best fits your needs. They will then reach out to you with next steps, including a secondary, internal application process that varies per lender.
