      * less than $10,000 and 

      * require you have been in business for at least 6-months to a year, and

      * have a credit score close to 700 or more

making it hard for many Black owned businesses to qualify for a short term emergency loan…but we have your back with a zero interest loan for emergencies or expansion.
