Overview

Why are you interested in becoming a Trustee?
BESThq’s core values strongly align with Kiva’s mission “to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty.” As a COLLABORATIVE small business incubator and executive development center, COMMUNITY and the power of SYNERGY is written into the very DNA of BESThq. With our strong focus on service, historically underutilized communities and holistic business development, a BESThq and Kiva Zip partnership means critical access to capital for the realization of dreams.
What is the mission of your organization?
BESThq provides a sustainable business community servicing and supporting small and historically underutilized entrepreneurs. We pride ourselves in being a humanistic organization that recognizes the importance of inspiration, intelligence and idea enterprise. In collaboration with agencies, large and small businesses, we strive to build strong relationships, empower entrepreneurs, and create an inclusive community while managing risk and strategically growing sustainable business.

Borrower Due Diligence

How will you decide who to endorse as a borrower? What due diligence will you conduct?
All endorsed borrowers will be members of the BESThq community (Cafe, Tenant and/or Executive Member Level). Participation as a BESThq member at these levels includes a detailed business assessment as well as training through the BESThq Business Academy and “Power Hour” seminars. A minimum of 6 months of membership is required prior to acceptance as a borrower for proper due diligence. This will allow BESThq to make an informed and thoughtful decision before endorsing a borrower.
