Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about DiasCap, our programs, and your journey toward business ownership.
What does the $19/month cover, and is it part of my capital?
The $19 membership is a program fee for the DiasCap Build tools, roadmap, education and community. It is not deposited into your capital and is not an investment in DiasCap.
Does meeting 40% mean I am approved for the rest?
No. It makes you eligible to apply through the funding pathway. Independent lenders make every financing decision.
I have no established U.S. credit. Can I still join?
Yes, you can start with DiasCap Build. A limited or missing U.S. credit history can affect which financing routes are open, and membership includes credit and financing preparation. Approval is never guaranteed.
Is DiasCap a bank or a lender?
No. DiasCap helps you prepare and identify third-party financing routes. Savings are intended to be held with a banking partner, subject to final structure.
Can I open my business in another state?
Yes. You choose the state where you intend to operate and your roadmap follows that state's requirements. Local rules may also apply.
