WHAT IT TAKES
Take the Loan Readiness Assessment on their website — 15–30 minutes
Prepare business formation documents, a business plan, and budget — Several days to weeks
Submit application and engage with their coaching/mentorship process — Ongoing
WORTH KNOWING
Entre Capital bundles loans with business coaching, mentoring, and bookkeeping assistance — engaging with those support services appears central to how they evaluate and support borrowers, not just an add-on.
