Your real odds
The program processes a high volume of applications, so budget 5 to 10 business days before you hear anything after submitting.
No acceptance rate is published, and the program uses more inclusive credit criteria than standard lenders specifically to address systemic credit barriers faced by Black entrepreneurs, so a poor credit history is less disqualifying here than it would be elsewhere.
