East Petersburg, PA sectors our partners fund

Owners in East Petersburg, PA come from many trades and services, such as contractors and construction trades, restaurants and food service, medical and dental practices and retailers and wholesalers that carry stock. Partners review each request on its own merits.

What to gather before you call

  • Business checking statements covering roughly the last quarter or two
  • Last year's filed tax return for the business
  • Current financial statements: profit and loss plus a balance sheet
  • Proof of ownership and business registration
  • A simple schedule of current business debt and monthly payments
  • For equipment, the seller's quote with make, model and price

No two partners ask for exactly the same file, so use this as a checklist rather than a rule.
