Application

How do I submit an application?
Download the application and email it with all the required documents to CORE Capital Loan Program.
I want to apply for a follow-on loan, do I need to submit the same documents again?
Complete the application and email it CORE Capital Loan Program with any documents that have changed since your last loan was funded.  

PROCESSING

How long will it take to process my loan?

This is dependent upon how complete the application is and the time it takes to receive information requested by our team.  Once an application is reviewed, an email will be sent to the applicant at the email address provided on the loan application advising them if items are missing or clarification is needed.  If a response it not received, a follow-up email will be sent as time permits.  Applications are processed in the order a complete application package is received.  Incomplete or incorrect applications are placed back in the queue after the email is sent.  

Please allow a minimum of 2 - 4 weeks after an application and/or additional documents are submitted to receive the email noted above.

Funding

When will I receive my loan check?

Once the loan documents have been executed, we will start the process to issue the loan check.  You must be registered as a supplier with the City before this process can begin.  The mailing address entered in the registration portal is where the loan check will be mailed.  This address must match the mailing address listed on the loan application which is also added to the loan documents.  Failure to register as a supplier will result in a delay of the loan check.  

Please allow 5-7 days for the funding process.

How do I make changes to my Supplier information such as my mailing address?
You will create a username and password when you register as a Supplier.  You are able to log into the portal at any time to make needed changes.  Some changes may require a new W9 and CA590.  If you need assistance please reach out to Portal Help.
