CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds depend on your creditworthiness and business financials, as with any bank loan.
As a CDFI-designated community bank, Centennial may be more flexible than large commercial banks, but this is still a lending decision, not a competitive grant process.
WHAT IT TAKES
Review loan products on their website and identify which fits your need — 1-2 hours
Contact Centennial Bank directly to speak with a business banker — Same day
Submit a loan application with business financials and documentation — 1-2 weeks to prepare
WORTH KNOWING
Centennial Bank is family-owned and has operated since 1916, which suggests a relationship-banking approach — speaking directly with a local banker may matter more than a polished application package.
