Since the SEF is willing to consider higher risk ventures, does that mean you don’t require all the details about our organization that a bank would ask for?
Look at the SEF as a bridge financier, willing to back higher risk ventures for the ultimate good of our community. We are, however, as determined as any lending institution to have each and every loan repaid within the agreed-upon terms. The long-term viability of the SEF depends on our loans being repaid. To ensure this occurs, we will use the same level of rigour as a bank in assessing the long-term viability of your business proposal.
