EIIG typically partners with businesses: that are below 250k in revenue, socially impactful (this could either be through stimulating the local economy and providing employment opportunities or through the work you do), based in Atlanta, and currently producing revenue (still fill out this application if you believe that you have an alternative form of income that will allow you to repay a loan).

These consulting services consist of regular bi-weekly calls over the loan repayment. Before you can receive a loan, a due diligence team examines your business during a 3-6 month process.
