Start-up, existing and new businesses that locate within the boundaries of the City of Hawarden are eligible to apply. Loan conditions vary depending on the type and length of the loan. Conditions will also vary depending on applicants credit background, amount of other capital brought to the project from other lenders and amount of equity the applicant brings to the project.
The long term goal is to create investment and jobs for the City of Hawarden.
