Abundance Slow Money Loan Application
What’s your idea? We assume you have read about Slow Money, and have perhaps signed the Slow Money Principles. We are assuming that you “get it,” and that when it comes to interacting with capital, we all need to find a new way of being. That said, (in 200 words or less) why do you need a loan? How does your idea match our mission? Why are you a good bet? How will our community benefit?
Something you should think about is that this is “place-based” lending. If you need a loan, and are planning to move away from our community, we are a bad fit. To quote Woody Tasch: “We must connect investors to the places where they live, creating vital relationships and new sources of capital for small food enterprises.”
Finally, before you apply, you should think about this as a “no default” opportunity. If we are lending against an asset, and your plan does not work out, plan on giving the asset to us to convert back into cash. And if we are extending credit to you, based on your “credibility,” plan on repaying in full such that your credibility stays in tact. Please add additional pages if necessary:
