As the NH Kiva hub, REDC is pleased to have assisted Lauren and Brandon and their business with a Kiva loan application, which is now live and ready for your support!

They are seeking funding to help establish a workforce, upgrade equipment, and provide working capital. The Potato Concept has utilized Kiva funding in the past. On their profile, they share, "The first loan we received from Kiva helped us get our footing under us by providing us with start-up capital. The evolution of a business comes in many phases and stages, and through this second round of funding we will be able to purchase a new rapid cook oven, hire employees and have enough funds for working capital to ensure that our business is able to capitalize on its steady growth. We are eager and 100% committed to a fruitful future, for The Potato Concept and our family. We love touring and bringing our food to different venues, building our brand, and collaborating with other local businesses. We understand that to build a strong and healthy company we’re going to need an abundance of product, inventory and equipment of our own. This loan is critical to the next step in our business plan." Kiva connects online lenders to entrepreneurs through an online lending platform. By lending as little as $25 on Kiva, you can be part of the solution and make a real difference in someone’s life. 100% of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes to funding loans. |
