Your real odds
Dakota Resources has committed loans to 58 rural organizations over 30 years, so the pool is small and each deal gets real scrutiny.
With $83M+ lent to 58 organizations over three decades, this is not a high-volume program, and rolling submissions mean there is no single competitive deadline to beat, but deal flow is deliberate and relationship-driven.

Worth knowing
Dakota Resources treats coaching and network connection as part of what they offer alongside capital, so engaging with their learning network or community coaching programs before you ask for financing is how you build the relationship that moves a deal forward.
