Something of special interest to Non-profits, and Affiliate members.  



If you are outside of the Washington, D.C. area knowing even the D.C. contracting requirements could be of some us.


Federals workers and their families live either within D.C. or the neighboring communities that stretches even further then Baltimore, Maryland in the North, Richmond, Virginia in the South, Delaware in the East, and West Virginia in the West..  The degrees of seperation are far less then you think. 
 
It doesn't hurt to know how business is conducted in the District of Columbia.

- Approval Times: Most Small Loan Advantage loans will be approved in a matter of minutes through electronic submission (e-Tran). Non-delegated Small Loan Advantage loans will be approved within 5 to 10 days.
- Paperwork: Small Loan Advantage features streamlined paperwork, with a two-page application for borrowers and lenders can use their own note and guaranty agreement.
