Your real odds
CEF has supported over 9,800 small businesses and disbursed more than $442M in capital, which signals a high approval volume relative to most grant programs.
CEF is a CDFI lender built to approve borrowers that traditional lenders reject, so your odds here are better than at a conventional bank, though loan terms and amounts depend on your specific situation.
