Well, the answer is simple - we are committed to adapting our products to the ever changing needs of our small business customers. And that’s what we did.

We will conduct a credit assessment with your affordability being calculated based on your business’ pre-lockdown revenue. This means that if your business would have qualified for a Lumi loan pre-lockdown, then your affordability will be adapted based on how much your revenue has decreased during lockdown. The maximum amount you can borrow with the Lumi Kickstarter Loan is capped at $50,000.
Check out how we assess your business’s affordability based on your pre-lockdown revenue and then recalculate it to reflect your loss in revenue during lockdown.
Affordability assessment is subject to credit criteria at the full discretion of Lumi. The above scenarios are examples only and do not guarantee a loan approval. Every business is assessed based on their respective credit and risk profile. Loan amount and terms can vary depending on the business’s revenue, industry and credit check.
