As part of the application process, we work closely with each applicant to provide market data, test assumptions, and refine plans and projections to get the most return on investment from a capital infusion. We also work with business owners in the pre-application phase to determine if a business loan is right for your business at this time. Our capital counselors also help you understand your business’s financial performance through the development of monthly balance sheets and quarterly profit and loss statements. Our primary aim is supporting the growth of your business and helping you use your business’s cash flow as a powerful tool for growth. Our support for Portland cannabis businesses also includes resources and classes from Prosper Portand’s Inclusive Business Resources Network, which connects diverse entrepreneurs to a broader range of services, including digital marketing, food science and production education, and other technical assistance services.
