To qualify, your business must be located in Alaska and majority-owned by an Alaska resident. Your Commercial Loan Officer can go over your business details to help you determine whether you might qualify.
That depends on the specific program and type of loan. Some AIDEA loans require application fees, commitment fees, or third-party fees. In addition, late payment fees are assessed on all term loans.
Collateral is required for some AIDEA loans, but it depends on several factors, including the amount and purpose of your loan. If your loan requires collateral, it can be secured with accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, or real estate.
Unsecured loans, which don’t require any collateral, are also available in some situations.
No, you don’t have to be a member to apply, but you do need to apply and qualify to become a member to accept the loan. But don’t worry—it’s quick and easy to join Alaska USA.
