Your real odds

CDFI certification means underserved founders are the intended borrower, so if a conventional lender has already said no, your odds here are likely better than you would expect.
What it takes

Review loan options and gather documents1 to 2 weeks
Apply for a business loan1 to 2 days
Worth knowing
