CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Approval depends on individual creditworthiness and loan type, not a competitive grant pool.
This is a loan product, not a grant, so there is no fixed number of winners. Your odds depend on your financial profile and how well you meet the credit union's lending criteria.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm LHCU membership eligibility and join if needed — 1–2 days
Apply for a loan online or in person — 1 hour
Await loan processing and decision — Days to weeks depending on loan type
WORTH KNOWING
LHCU is U.S. Treasury-certified as a CDFI, which means it is specifically designed to provide credit to underserved borrowers—this may make approval more accessible for early-stage businesses that struggle with traditional bank lending.
