CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds depend on your creditworthiness and business viability, not a competitive selection process.
As a CDFI credit union, SCCCU is mission-driven and works with businesses that may not qualify at traditional banks, but this is still a loan product with standard underwriting, not a grant award.
WHAT IT TAKES
Join SCCCU as a member — 1 day
Gather business financials and loan application materials — 3–5 days
Submit business loan application online or at a branch — 1–2 hours
WORTH KNOWING
SCCCU partners with El Pajaro SBDC, which offers free small business advising — getting help from them before applying may strengthen your loan application.
