FAQ
How do I finance the start-up of a small business?

REI Business Lending offers one-on-one business counseling to assist you with loan applications and other issues.

How long does the approval/denial process take?
Approximately 2-4 weeks from the time we receive all of your required information, depending on the complexity of the transaction.
Will I be required to invest owner equity?
Yes. In most cases, the borrower is expected to make an investment to demonstrate a personal commitment to the business.
Will I be required to pledge collateral for my loan?
Yes.
Does REI Oklahoma have grant money?
REI Oklahoma does not provide grants.
I have a poor credit history. Will I be eligible for a loan?
Having bad credit or a poor credit history does not automatically disqualify you from receiving a loan from REI Business Lending. Each application is evaluated independently and, while repayment ability is a primary consideration in the loan decision process, good character, management capability, collateral, owners equity contribution, and community impact are also important considerations. However, tax liens and government loan default will automatically disqualify you.
My business is not located in Oklahoma. Can I still apply for financing with REI Business Lending?
REI Business Lending only finances Oklahoma businesses.
Does REI Business Lending offer low-interest rate loans?
Interest rates are determined by the current market, project, risk and other qualifying factors.
