Borrower Due Diligence

How will you decide who to endorse as a borrower? What due diligence will you conduct?

I will vet potential borrowers through my one on one work with each of them. In that work I would assess sound financial viability, a marketable product that serves a market need along with a compelling mission of the company. All of this would be coupled with my knowledge of the owner of the company and the level of integrity and passion that they bring to the project.
