Overview

Why are you interested in becoming a Trustee?

Small businesses are the mitochondria of the U.S. economy and I am delighted to help them succeed. As an entrepreneur, I understand the unique challenges that small business owners face and for many, access to capital is the key ingredient that can enable them to either launch or grow their ventures. The Kiva Zip loan is a great financial resource for small business owners and I'm hoping to help fellow entrepreneurs take advantage of this opportunity.

Borrower Due Diligence

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

When choosing borrowers and ensuring that they are suitable for a loan, I will: - Ask the borrower to submit a business plan - Conduct an initial meeting or conference call with the borrower to learn more about the borrower and the intended use of funds - Ascertain the borrower's professional background, skills, education level, and business management experience
