Lendio, the online leader* in helping business owners secure financing, is helping an up-and-coming shoe manufacturer sell more shoes.

Just one of the thousands of small business owners helped by Lendio each month, Dawn Dickson, founder of Flat Out of Heels turned to Lendio for a business loan to meet customer demand for her fashionable flats. Featured on TV programs that include CNBC, Bravo, and Real Housewives of Atlanta, Flat Out of Heels experienced a lift in demand that required an influx of capital to ramp up production.

At the recommendation of a friend, Dickson contacted Lendio to get the financing she needed. “I was really impressed with how fast it all happened,” said Dickson. “The folks at Lendio asked me a few simple questions about my business and I was very surprised when three days later I had the small business loan I needed.”

Flat Out of Heels began shortly after founder, Dawn Dickson, tried to find some fashionable flats after being on her feet in six-inch heels for several hours at an event in South Beach, Miami. When she couldn’t find anything to help give her feet a rest, she set out to create a fashionable, durable, and comfortable shoe that was durable enough for everyday wear and would roll up so it could be easily purchased from a vending machine.

Lendio is a free online service that helps businesses find the right type of loan within minutes.  Lendio works with small business owners across the country to help them find the financing necessary to grow their businesses and succeed.

“I have never worked with anyone who did their job so efficiently,” said Dickson. “If you need to access capital quickly, Lendio can have you qualified in a day and have you financed in just a few more. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
