Grant Program
We are all familiar with loans that have monthly payments, interest, and unfavorable terms most of the time. Qualifications are based on your business and/or personal credit scores. Some even require a down payment and collateral.
These are tough times. Finding and qualifying for funding can be next to impossible for some due to:
Low scores
Derogatory marks
High utilization
Too many inquiries
High DTI (debt-to-income ratio)
This happens when you are forced to use your personal and business credit and end up gridlocked.You are then stuck with an unaffordable loan and an inability to qualify for additional funding. As a result businesses are left with tough decisions:
Go out of business
File bankruptcy
Borrow from family and friends
Resort to hard money or merchant cash advance loans
