Your real odds
No acceptance rate is disclosed, but 90% of borrowers are Denver and Aurora-based small businesses, so location matters more than most lenders will admit.
CEDS has operated since 2009 and holds six CDFI Fund certifications, which means an established lending pipeline and a genuine orientation toward borrowers who don't qualify through conventional channels.
