Question categories
In the Fundability Assessment, we ask questions in several categories. Here's what they are and why we ask about them.
BUSINESS
We ask about your business because lenders care about what you do, how long you've done it and your goals for the business.
FINANCES
We ask about the finances of your business and your personal finances because lenders want to know how well your business is doing right now and the forecast for the future.
PERSONAL
We ask personal questions because lenders need to know that you are a good risk and will manage their money well.
