Underwriter's path
KYN is helping you answer the questions a lender will ask before they ask them.
The goal is not just to generate forms. The goal is to make the lender's first review boring: complete, consistent, supported, and easy to underwrite.
Repayment first
The lender starts with cash flow, DSCR, debt, and whether the request is sized to the business.
Proof beats story
Every claim should tie to a tax return, bank statement, P&L, balance sheet, contract, invoice, or owner document.
Explain exceptions
One-time costs, seasonality, owner draws, weak months, credit issues, and unusual deposits should be explained before the lender asks.

CDFIs do not use standardized government forms like SBA loans. Each CDFI has its own application process. This checklist covers the most commonly requested documents across CDFI lenders. Contact your specific CDFI to confirm their requirements.
