What happens next

Three steps between this form and a decision

The form above starts the conversation. Here is the rest of the process, so nothing catches you off guard.

01

We read it and reach out

Within one business day we follow up at the contact info you gave us, talk through the fit, and confirm which fund makes sense for your project.

02

Register with Mission West

Mission West underwrites every SCCD loan, so the full application runs through their client system. That system still carries their earlier name, Lake County Community Development Corporation, which is why the web address starts with "lccdc". That is expected. Your loan is still with us.

03

Gather your paperwork

The checklist below is everything underwriting will ask for. Having it ready is the single biggest thing that speeds up a decision.

Paperwork checklist

What to have ready

  • A complete business plan, if the business is new. We can help you write one.
  • The completed loan application. We send it to you after the first call.
  • Three years of personal tax returns for every owner
  • Three years of business tax returns
  • A current balance sheet
  • A profit and loss statement showing year-to-date figures
  • Details on any assets offered as collateral
  • If the loan is for a piece of equipment:
    • Pro forma invoice. An official seller quote with the final purchase price.
    • Specification sheet. Make, model, year, and serial number.
    • Proof of insurance. A binding quote naming SCCD as the loss payee.
    • Condition report, used equipment only. A certified third-party appraisal.

Not sure whether something applies to you? Send the form anyway. We sort out what is actually needed on the first call.
