The article goes on to describe the headache that an Alabama small business had when trying to secure funding. After being turned down by a bank, the business turned to Lendio and was able to secure funding within a week through On Deck Capital.
The article also shares some stats on Lendio:
- Loans range from $5,000 to $1 million
- 2010 revenue was $8.6
- Since March it has received 3,000 loan requests
- Loan approval rate is 50-70%




Match Financing (www.matchfinancing.com) offers a similar service that makes it easy to find and compare business loans. The sign-up is simple and it is free for borrowers. I think that this type of service is going to see strong growth as more and more borrowers begin their search for a new loan online.
I know both companies and executives personally. Great bunch!
cheers to the accomplishment:
Just watched the demo video you have provided on this post and honestly I get thrilled with what it says there. I very interested on how Lendio works as the primary source of finance in the whole world.
Maybe I am slow, but I don't get loans for small business. Business that need that money probably don't have the revenue to be able to pay it back in a timely manner (it't rare a company can turn around the investment/loan dollars into revenue in a short time), and those that would be able to pay it back don't really need to extra capital.
