CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds depend on your creditworthiness and business financials, not a competitive selection process.
This is a CDFI bank loan, not a grant—approval follows standard lending criteria. Mission Valley Bank emphasizes personalized, relationship-based banking, so local businesses with solid financials are best positioned.
WHAT IT TAKES
Contact the bank or visit a branch to discuss your needs — 1–2 days
Prepare business financials and loan application materials — 1–2 weeks
Submit application and await underwriting decision — 2–4 weeks
WORTH KNOWING
Mission Valley Bank offers SBA loans in addition to conventional lending, which may be easier to qualify for if your business lacks extensive credit history or collateral.
