The LEAF Financing Application Process:

1. Initial Inquiry

Submit an inquiry with the button above. LEAF will review the information and determine whether our lending services fit your needs. If they appear to fit, a member of LEAF’s lending team will reach out to schedule a call. The LEAF team member will ask about financial goals, social mission, uses of funds, credit, equity, and collateral. If LEAF determines the business is not yet ready to apply, LEAF will work with promising candidates and suggest ways to strengthen the application.
