YOUR REAL ODDS

Become a credit union member — 1-2 days
Contact business banking team to discuss loan options — 1 week
Submit business loan application with required financials — 1-2 weeks
WORTH KNOWING
This is a loan, not a grant — you will need to repay funds. As a CDFI-affiliated institution, it may offer more flexible terms than traditional banks for qualifying small businesses.
