What happens after you apply?
One application, one file.
Send one application with your recent business bank statements. That gives us one file, instead of the same paperwork at every funder.
A person reads the file.
Revenue, existing positions, industry and time in business. If something is missing, we ask before anything goes out.
Sent only where it fits.
The file goes to funders whose stated criteria match it. It does not go to every name on a list, so your file is not sprayed around.
You compare and choose.
Offers come back with each funder's terms, side by side: amount, cost, term and payment structure. Accepting is your decision.

Which advances fit South Dakota files?
South Dakota files rise at harvest and fall in winter. Funders want a full year to see both. The desk sends only funders that read farm cycles.
Finance and insurance is 16.3% of South Dakota output, third highest in the country, yet the files that reach a funder come mostly from Main Street. Agriculture is 8.1%, the largest share of any state, and auto repair shops are 2.6% of establishments, second highest. Growth sits in the west and the southeast: Box Elder grew 17.6%, Spearfish 15.9% and Sioux Falls 10.9%. Aberdeen and Pierre both shrank. A Rapid City trade firm and an Aberdeen dealer may carry the same revenue but very different seasons. Wholesale firms are 5.5% of establishments, third highest, and trucking firms 3.3%. Grain, cattle and equipment dealers often get paid in lumps after harvest or sale, so a strong fall can carry a thin spring.
