YOUR REAL ODDS

As a community bank with CDFI designation, CNB is oriented toward local Mississippi businesses. Odds will depend on your creditworthiness and loan type, not a competitive grant selection process.
WHAT IT TAKES
Contact a relationship banker or visit a branch — 1-2 days
Prepare business financials and loan application — 1-2 weeks
Submit application and await underwriting decision — 2-4 weeks
WORTH KNOWING
Citizens National Bank explicitly promotes SBA loans for small businesses and has a dedicated Community Development and Small Business Development focus as a CDFI, which may mean more flexible lending terms than a conventional bank.
