What to weigh carefully

The homepage warns the timeline is currently several months from application to committee review.
Confirm tribal/service-area eligibility, collateral and the later principal payment schedule.

Questions before you accept an offer

What interest-only period and amortization follow it?
What tribal and operating eligibility must my entity meet?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.
