Loan Evaluation Process

  • Complete the loan application which provides basic information about the applicant and project.
  • Perform credit check and confirm that the application meets Two Rivers eligibility criteria.

Upon Acceptance of the Application

  • A pro-forma business plan and business plan guide will be provided to the applicant for completion. Two Rivers will assist in ensuring the business plan is completed in the proper format. HOWEVER, the applicant is responsible for completion and content. We believe that completing the business plan is a critical part of the applicant’s research of the feasibility or viability of the project. We use it to evaluate the applicant’s management ability as well as the viability of the concept. We will accept business plans prepared by a consultant, we will not discuss the plan with your consultant. It is our expectation that the business owner is completely familiar with the content of the plan. The consultant will not manage the business and typically after they have completed the document their involvement ends.
  • Review and acceptance or decline.
