Your real odds
No public approval rate exists, but EDFC was built specifically to fund businesses that banks have already rejected.
As a CDFI and nonprofit lender, EDFC uses more flexible criteria than a conventional lender would, though creditworthiness and business viability still factor into every decision.

Worth knowing
A prior bank rejection is not a mark against you here; it is the profile EDFC designed its programs around, so lead with that context in your application.
