Borrower Due Diligence

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

The businesses that come through our network generally participate in our eight-week entrepreneurial training course, meaning we help them work through the development of a business plan, spend eight weeks getting to know them, and have a formal process by which we can evaluate their business plans and financial projections.
