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 funding structures fit Washington files?
Washington files come from trades, salons and restaurants in the Puget Sound area and from farm towns east of the mountains. Rain slows outdoor work in the west.
The desk reads a full year.
Washington pairs two record shares with a heavy trades base. Information is 16.4% of output and retail 9.7%, the top share in the country for both. Construction firms are 13.4% of establishments, fifth highest, and specialty trades 8.1%. Seattle grew 6.5% and Spokane Valley 5.2%, while Kent, Renton and Federal Way shrank a little. Most funding files here come from the trades, restaurants and salons rather than the large tech firms. Contractors often earn most in the dry months, and funders look for that pattern.
