Your real odds
Rolling applications mean you are not competing against a cohort, but approval still depends on your creditworthiness and readiness at the time you apply.
BCL is a CDFI, so it is structured to lend to businesses that do not qualify through traditional banks, and their pre-loan coaching signals they regularly work with applicants who are not yet financing-ready.

Worth knowing
BCL explicitly serves businesses that need to build toward financing, so going through their coaching program before you apply improves your odds considerably compared to walking into a traditional lender cold.
