There are a few standard requirements you'll need to meet to be considered eligible for Chisos funding:
​
Personal:
You are a US Citizen or Permanent Resident
You are the age of majority in your state (usually 18 years old)
You currently reside in the United States, and your business is (or soon will be) incorporated in the US
You have never been convicted of a felony or of any crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust under any federal or state statute, rule or regulation
​
If you're eligible, we ask you for additional information to verify your application and put together your official terms. Not all entrepreneurs who are eligible will be approved. We evaluate applications based on the entrepreneur (that's you!). We look at your current or most recent income, your professional experience and skills, your credit score, and your business (even if it's just in idea stage). We prefer that your business be legally incorporated and have a business bank account, or that you incorporate and open a business account as a condition for Chisos funding.
