- Current financial statements: profit and loss plus a balance sheet
- Government-issued ID for each owner

Partners differ in what they request; this list covers the usual ground.
From first call to a partner's decision
- You call (478) 209-5383 or send the short form (name, contact details and business name). When we speak, we ask what the money is for, how long you have been in business and roughly what the business brings in.
- We explain which funding types fit that use and what partners usually need to see. Nothing is submitted without your go-ahead.
- With your permission, we take the request to lending partners that offer that kind of funding. Each partner reviews it and makes its own credit decision.
- Any offer comes from the partner. Read the total cost, the payment schedule and the terms before deciding; turning it down is always an option.
