Build the decision in four steps
Define the project, reconcile the file, compare written terms, and stress-test cash flow.
Primary sources
- Current SBA and IRS pages support program and tax claims.
- Provider documents control actual eligibility and terms.
No outcome promises
- No universal score, APR, approval, or timing claims.
- A referral or prequalification is not an approval.
Reversible decisions
- Keep quotes, assumptions, conditions, and rejected alternatives.
- Compare final documents with the proposal before signing.
Resolve evidence gaps before applying
Unsupported costs, inconsistent records, missing permits, and optimistic cash flow weaken the file.
