CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds depend on creditworthiness and standard bank underwriting, not a competitive grant process.
This is a loan product from a CDFI-affiliated community bank, not a grant. Approval is based on your financials and credit profile, not a selection committee.
WHAT IT TAKES
Contact the lending team directly via the bank's website or call 662-365-1200 — 1 day
Prepare business financials and credit history for underwriting review — 1-2 weeks
Submit loan application and await decision — 1-3 weeks
WORTH KNOWING
The bank has a 'How to Improve Your Credit Score' resource on their site, which may be worth reviewing before applying if your credit profile needs strengthening.
