OFA 2025 Intro to WESST Loan Program
Intro to WESST MicroLoan Program
In this course, you will learn about our loan program for small businesses. You will learn about the 5 C's of credit as they pertain to the lending industry in general vs how WESST determines loans. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the next steps.
WESST offers several advantages over other micro-lending operations in the state:
Our loan program focuses on building relationships through critical business consulting, training, and other support services to our loan recipients, in order to maximize their chances of success.
Our interest rates and fees are extremely competitive, and often the lowest available in the state.
Our program specializes in helping business owners who have been unable to receive a loan elsewhere.
This is a hybrid course.
