How WACIF Lends Money • Deliberately • The ‘craft’ brewers of the lending world • Judiciously • Sources of capital are limited, thus loans are limited • Normally, less than 5% of clients get approved for loans • 96% Loan Repayment Rate • Non-traditionally • Much different risk profile than most debt financiers
How to Apply • Intake form on www.wacif.org • Business Evaluation by WACIF staff • Request for application • Prepare your financials • Prepare your plan • Prepare to pay us back
