YOUR REAL ODDS

No public data on approval rates, but as a community credit union CDFI, it is designed to serve underserved borrowers who may not qualify at traditional banks.

CDFIs generally take a more flexible approach to lending than conventional banks, but loan amounts and terms vary and are not publicly disclosed on the site.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Confirm membership eligibility and join the credit union — 1–3 days

  2. Request an appointment to discuss business loan options — 1 week

  3. Submit loan application with required business documentation — 1–2 weeks

WORTH KNOWING

Corazo is a CDFI, meaning it has a mission to serve lower-income and underserved communities — if your business is in the Imperial Valley or surrounding area, this lender may be more accessible than a traditional bank.
