Ivyfield Funding Group, a Greenville, Mississippi small-business funding service, explains how a request moves from the first call or form to a partner's decision. The page covers what qualifying means to a partner, credit union requirements for practices, and the factors that shape how long a small business loan, an approval or a bank decision can take, without promising any timeline.
Four Stages From an Intake Call to a Funded Request in Washington County, MS
- Intake: the bill, the amount, the due date and the income that pays it back, by phone or through the form.
- Narrowing: which of the six options fit that bill and the business's deposit history.
- Partner review: a funding partner reads the request and the records it asks for, then approves, declines or proposes something different.
- Owner decision: you read the written offer, total its cost and accept it or decline it.
Nothing is funded until an owner signs a partner's agreement. A request can stop at any stage.
