We’re revolutionizing small business lending.
Lendio was founded in 2011 to serve the small businesses that traditional finance leaves out. Through our marketplace of lenders and tools for community lenders, more small businesses can qualify for and receive funding in record time.
Our mission
We’re in the business of fueling dreams.
There are over 30 million small businesses in the US, but less than half have access to funding from their bank. We see a future where small businesses can get the funding they need, right when they need it. We’re building products that give businesses more options and give lenders better solutions. That’s what keeps us going.
An ecosystem of financial tools to help small businesses survive and thrive.
The nation’s leading funding marketplace.
One simple application connects small businesses with a marketplace of 75+ funding partners and financial solutions.
Our application, embedded on your platform.
An AI-driven marketplace for small business loans embedded on your platform with a single line of code.
Your lending policy, our technology.
Integrated lending technology for banks and credit unions that makes even smaller business loans worth it.
Meet our leadership team.
