Your real odds
Your odds depend on your creditworthiness and business plan quality, not on a limited pool of winners, because this is a rolling loan program rather than a competitive grant.
FCC loan officers assess each application individually, so approval is not stacked against other applicants in a selection round. No approval rate data is published.
What it takes
Prepare a business plan covering your agri-food purchase or expansion1–3 weeks
Contact your local FCC office to start the application1–2 days
Work with an FCC advisor to finalize loan terms and complete paperwork1–4 weeks
Worth knowing
FCC offers preferential interest rates and charges no loan processing fees, and you get up to 18 months to make purchases after the loan is set up, which matters if you are acquiring assets in stages.
