Borrower Due Diligence

How will you decide who to endorse as a borrower? What due diligence will you conduct?

Borrowers will only be considered after participating in one of our 4 month training programs and will have to meet the criteria at the highest level. A payment plan will need to be established prior to consideration and a specific 1 day training on loans and repayment will need to be attended.
