Borrower Due Diligence

How will you decide who to endorse as a borrower? What due diligence will you conduct?
Evaluate the business's probability of success in their market. Evaluate the skill set of the entrepreneur and also their personal investment of time and money into the business. Assess whether this passes the "passion" test for them - is it something they love doing and really want to commit their time to? Evaluate their peer support network and the community assets that they are leveraging.
