About the programme

Main Street awards help storefront and service businesses fund a specific growth project such as a second location, a kitchen build out or a point of sale rollout. Recipients receive a review session with a Lendora advisor.

Who can apply

Two or more years of trading history, annual revenue under twenty five million dollars, and a written project plan with quotes.

What the committee expects to see

  • A problem statement written in plain language, with the cost of the problem today
  • Evidence that someone other than the founder wants this solved
  • A budget for the award broken down by line, adding to the amount requested
  • Three milestones with dates the committee can check against
  • Formation papers and an employer identification number
Applications are read by two committee members independently. Where the two scores differ by more than fifteen points a third reader is added. Every applicant receives the written feedback.
