Helpful Answers About the Request Form

Is my trade too small for a request?

No. No trade is too small. Trade pages cover a selection of local trades; any business outside trucking and agriculture is welcome to send a request.

Do these counts include businesses without employees?

County Business Patterns counts employer establishments only. Nonemployer Statistics is a separate program, and the two are not added together on these pages.

What does it take to qualify for a $200,000 business loan?

Funding partners set their own requirements, so no one checklist applies. A request of that size usually comes with the amount, the purpose, years in business, revenue and recent bank statements, and a partner may ask for more once it reads them. Flintview prepares and forwards the request; the partner decides whether to offer funding.
