Your real odds
Your approval depends on creditworthiness and loan terms, not a competitive selection pool.
This is a loan, so repayment is required, and First Southwest Bank evaluates you the way any lender would. Their CDFI certification means they apply more flexible criteria than a conventional bank, particularly for underserved borrowers.

Worth knowing
First Southwest Bank holds both CDFI certification and a top USDA/FSA lender designation, so if your business is in rural Colorado or tied to agriculture and conventional financing has been a dead end, this is a more realistic starting point than most.
