Remember...
- Be yourself: The application is designed to get to know you and your business. There are no right answers. We want to know the real, authentic you.
- Be clear and concise: Read the question carefully. Answer THAT question and only that question. No need to use fancy buzzwords.
- Know your numbers: Revenue, employees, customers, capital – what data is the application asking for? This is not a place to make up numbers. If you need to approximate, do so via informed guesses.
- Don’t copy and paste from ChatGPT or the website: Please know that we are very familiar with the program you are applying for and scan the applications for plagiarism of ChatGPT. We want your responses in your own words!
- Proofread: There’s always room to improve a first draft! Did you fully answer each question? Did you answer the question being asked? Are there any glaring typos to correct?
