CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Loan approval depends on your creditworthiness and membership eligibility — no published selectivity data is available.
Because this is a rolling loan program rather than a competitive grant, odds depend on your financial profile rather than a fixed acceptance rate. CDFI lenders generally aim to serve borrowers underserved by traditional banks.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm membership eligibility and join if needed — 1–3 days
Apply for a loan online or contact the credit union directly — 1–2 hours
Provide business and financial documentation as requested — 1–5 business days
WORTH KNOWING
As a CDFI, Total Choice FCU may offer more flexible lending terms than conventional banks for small businesses with limited credit history — worth a direct conversation at help@totalchoicefcu.com or 1-985-783-2130.
