YOUR REAL ODDS

No public data on approval rates, but as a CDFI cooperative, it is designed to serve underbanked communities and small businesses that may not qualify at traditional banks.

Rolling applications mean you can apply at any time, but approval depends on your creditworthiness and membership status. CDFI lenders typically have more flexible underwriting than conventional banks.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Become a member (Hazte Socio) by submitting a membership application on their website — 1–3 days

  2. Gather business documents (corporate account or DBA setup, financials) — 1 week

  3. Apply for a commercial loan or line of credit through the commercial products section — 1–2 weeks for processing

WORTH KNOWING

The cooperative also lists a student scholarship application (Solicitud de Beca Estudiantil) on its site — if you are a member or have dependents studying, that may be a separate opportunity worth exploring.
