Use Of Funds
Up to a $35,000 maximum loan amount, how much money does your business need?
Please clarify what you would use the money for AND what impact that would have on your business.
For example, "I would purchase equipment and this equipment would allow me to cut my production time by more than half which would give me an extra 8 hours week to focus on marketing & sales. With an extra 8 hours of marketing & sales per week, I estimate that I can conservatively sell to 10 additional customers each month which would be roughly an incremental $1,000 per month in revenue.
