Choosing a structure
Can a business loan be used for anything?
No. Business funding is for business purposes, and agreements often restrict use further. The use-of-proceeds clause tells you what is allowed.
Which costs is a business line of credit meant to cover?
Recurring operating costs such as supplier bills, payroll timing and repairs. The line of credit page explains draws and repayment.
Can I use a business line of credit for personal expenses?
You should not. It can breach the agreement and makes the business records partners rely on less reliable.
Do funders treat a merchant cash advance as a loan?
No. A merchant cash advance is not a loan; it is a purchase of future receipts. The advance page explains how it is collected and priced.
Which sectors do your partners fund?
Partners have confirmed construction, restaurants, medical and dental practices, and retail or inventory-based businesses. We do not work with agriculture or trucking businesses.
Applying
What do I type into the request form?
Only contact basics: first and last name, email, phone and the business name, plus one consent checkbox. We ask about the purpose and the business when we call.
Will applying affect my credit?
Partners may check credit during their review. Before anyone runs a check, ask whether it will be a soft or a hard inquiry.
Is approval certain if my business is in one of the confirmed sectors?
No. Every partner decides case by case, and any partner may decline.
What follows once the form is submitted?
We call to talk through the need. The four steps describe the rest of the process.
Nevada and local questions

Is the Carson City, NV business license the same as the state license?
No. They are separate. The Carson City, NV license guide explains the difference.
Where can I get free help with a business plan in Carson City, NV?
The Nevada SBDC lists a Carson City center offering free advising by appointment. The resource directory has the details.
