What their website says about applying

• You can call the office and request an information packet or you can print out one of the following PDFs and mail it in. source
• you must submit a quote from your chosen vendor for the device or service you plan to purchase so that we can process your application. source
• You have 30 days from when we receive your loan application to submit all the required supporting documents. source

Phone numbers and addresses are the ones on the lender's own site and the CDFI Fund list. CDFI Atlas does not take applications.

As published on the lender's website on that date, not an offer or a quote. Your rate depends on the lender's review. A missing rate means the pages we read did not state one. For consumer loans we repeat a rate only when the lender states it as an APR (annual percentage rate, which includes fees); otherwise read the lender's own wording and ask for the APR.

• No or thin credit history considered we will consider lower credit scores (including no credit) and higher debt-to-income ratios source
• Low or damaged credit considered we will consider lower credit scores (including no credit) and higher debt-to-income ratios source

Only rules the lender's own pages state. Other requirements may apply.

Read from 7 pages of the lender's website on 2 Nov 2026. Quotes are verbatim. Extracted with AI help from the pages listed below and checked automatically against them. Not reviewed by a person. Confidence: high. Low-Interest Loan terms appear only in the FAQ page; the pilot press release is dated January 2021. Terms change — confirm with the lender before applying.

Based on what their website said when we read it on 2 Nov 2026, and what it left out. Something missing here does not mean they don't offer it: ask.

1. Do you lend where I live, or where my business is?
   Their website does not say which area they serve.
2. What is the APR, including fees, on your personal loans?
   Their website states a rate, but not as an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare.
3. Do you need collateral, a business plan or a minimum time in business?
   Their website does not say what they require.
4. Do you offer free coaching or help preparing my application?
   CDFI certification requires development services, such as training or advice, alongside lending.
5. What documents will you need from me, and how long does a decision usually take?
   Their website describes some application steps (above); ask for the full document list.

Write down the answers, who you spoke to and the date, and ask for the terms in writing before you sign.
