Lendistry was started because our diverse team of founders spent their careers witnessing the barriers that make it too hard for most small business owners to get the loans they need to purchase inventory, open a new location, or bring in some extra cash to support their day-to-day operations.

What does access to capital look like?
At Lendistry, it’s:

\ Choices

Responsible terms in low, medium and high amounts, because your capital needs don’t end after the first loan

\ Fintech

An online application that’s easy to complete anytime, anywhere, because coming to a branch isn’t an option for every business owner

\ Equitability

A different approach to making lending decisions, because every business is different, and they all deserve a fair chance to grow

Access to capital means access to options.
Access to opportunity.

Access to professionals who are driven to help
underserved business owners and communities succeed.

This belief has led Lendistry to become the largest
minority-led deployer of capital in the nation.

“Lendistry was able to step in and alleviate some of that pressure. I was really relieved when I got the email from Lendistry that I was getting funded because it did allow my business to continue moving forward.”

— Rebecca Stadler, Stadler Law
