RUS Broadband Loan Application Services |
Capitalizing on years of experience in performing telecom market studies, The Confluence Research Group
can assist your company in completing two very crucial elements of the RUS loan application:
- The Market Survey (Loan Application - Section B)
- The Business Plan (Loan Application - Section C)
The Market Survey
A good marketing survey is vital to the successful completion of an RUS broadband loan application.
The loan application guidelines stipulate that in order to obtain funding, the RUS must be adequately
convinced that the community has a strong need and desire for broadband services. Furthermore, the
survey will be used as evidence to support and justify the pro forma financial forecasts (Loan Application - Section E).
In surveying your community, The Confluence Research Group will incorporate vital supporting details
to ensure that the results that you are presenting to the loan committee are as thorough as possible.
These details include: the economics and demographics of the area, and the availability of broadband to community services (fire & rescue, schools,
community centers, etc.).
The Business Plan
The business plan ties all aspects of the loan application together and presents your case in a
concise and fact-filled format. It is critical that this document be well written, and convey
your reasoning in a clear, unambiguous manner that will impress the loan committee. The
Confluence Research Group's Principal Analyst has years of experience in not only writing such
materials, but also in interfacing with the media and other third party audiences. His expertise
in effectively communicating your plan of action will be a valuable resource as you compete
with other companies for loan money.
Time is of the Essence
Once released, the loan disbursements as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 are made on a rolling basis, so do not wait to begin assembling your loan application
any longer. The sooner you complete the process and submit your application, the better chance you have
of securing these all-important funds.
