Lendistry was started because our 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.

Read what some of our customers have to say

Lendistry was founded in 2015 to open doors and give small business owners a fair chance at getting the funds they need without resorting to predatory lenders.

At Lendistry, this is what capital to access looks like.

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
