Your real odds

No public acceptance rate exists, but the program states openly that it is not designed to assist everyone and applies standard commercial lending criteria to applicants.

Grant size depends on your ownership percentage, financial need, and project type, and applicants with high net worth are likely to be deemed ineligible for the grant portion. The loan component is more broadly available to applicants who meet business viability standards.

What it takes

Contact LRCC staff before incurring any project costs to discuss eligibility and your project1–2 days

Gather and submit the application form, Personal Statement of Affairs, and any other required documents1–2 weeks

Allow for application processing once all documentation is received4–6 weeks

Worth knowing

LRCC advises applying 2 to 3 months before your project starts, and they will not fund any costs incurred before approval, so contact them before you spend a dollar on the work.
