Before you borrow
Diversity lenders verify certification at underwriting.
Almost every diversity lender requires an active diverse-business certification on file before approving a loan. The quiz checks which certifications you qualify for and matches them to the lenders that recognize each one, so you can sequence the certification first and the financing second instead of getting denied at underwriting.
