Accessing Funds from FundAccess
FundAccess began operation in January, 1998, as a financial institution that assists persons who want to start-up or expand their small businesses.
Currently FundAccess has a NO CASH policy. Therefore suppliers' pro forma invoices, quotations or estimates of items to be purchased must be submitted. However if you are looking for working capital (e.g. for utilities, raw materials etc.) a proposal detailing the intended use of funds is required.
So just how much money can a business borrow? What does a business needs to access these finances? And which businesses are eligible? The answers to these questions are outlined in this article, so read on.
