CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds depend on your creditworthiness and ability to meet standard lending criteria, not a competitive grant selection process.
As a CDFI credit union, Guadalupe CU is mission-driven and may be more flexible than traditional banks, but these are loans, not grants — repayment is required and approval is based on financial qualifications.
WHAT IT TAKES
Become a credit union member — 1 day
Choose the right loan product (line of credit, equipment, commercial real estate, etc.) — 1–2 hours research
Submit a loan application with business financials — 1–2 weeks to gather and apply
WORTH KNOWING
Guadalupe CU offers free certified financial coaching at all 7 branch locations, which could help you strengthen your application or clarify which loan product fits your business needs.
