How to Finance a Tribal Business

American Indian and Alaska Native businesses often need loans to sustain or grow their operations.

Tribes and tribal members need to be careful when borrowing money to fund their businesses.

Getting a loan from the wrong source can result in debt repayment terms that can cripple a business or even cause it to collapse.

Prudent financing allows a business to meet the demand for its products or services, hire the employees it needs, secure office or retail space, and purchase necessary equipment.
