I have some experience with the National Coop Bank.  NCB is good because
they understand coops so you don't have to fight with the bank to get
them to recognize you.  Unfortunately, they aren't any more prone to
taking risks than any other bank, so if you don't look really secure, they
won't give you a loan either.
