YOUR REAL ODDS

Odds depend on your creditworthiness and business financials, not a competitive grant selection process.

This is a loan product, not a grant, so approval is based on standard lending criteria. Rolling applications mean you are not competing against other applicants in a cohort.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Check membership eligibility and become a member if needed — 1–3 days

  2. Identify the right loan product (SBA, line of credit, equipment, etc.) and gather business financials — 1–2 weeks

  3. Submit loan application online or in person — 1–2 hours

WORTH KNOWING

First Financial Credit Union offers SBA loans alongside conventional business products, which can mean more flexible terms for startups with limited collateral or shorter credit history.
