We often hear the question, “how do you determine what amount I’m eligible for?” Everything we do at Forward is centered on bringing financial opportunity to more small businesses. That’s why we conduct a full, upfront underwrite when evaluating the financial health and growth potential of each business that applies for funding with us. Our underwriting process involves both our advanced technology and experienced, well-trained professionals. That’s where we review multiple factors including, but not limited to, business cash flow, time in business, and credit history to determine the amount of financing a business is eligible to receive.
