Lendio: Simplifying the Small Business Loan Process

Lendio makes business loans easy by helping small business owners skip the leg work of looking for a small business loan. Instead of filling out dozens of applications, one application is all they need.

As a Lendio Franchisee you will be able to help small business owners find the loan they need to grow their business by leveraging Lendio’s business loan marketplace. By helping your clients complete a single application, they will be reviewed by over 75 lenders, taking the headache of loan applications out of the equation!

What Makes the Lendio Franchise Different

Disruptive Market

Disruptive innovation creates new markets and reshapes existing ones. The goal is to be the disruptor, not the disrupted. The Alternative Lending market is reshaping the way Small Business Owners think about securing funding. Year over year growth in 2014 and 2015 was 261% and 252%, respectively, with much more room for growth in the immediate future. As the Nation’s leading marketplace for small business lending, Lendio is at the center of this reshaping and disruption.

Proprietary Technology

Sometimes loan applications can feel like you’re navigating through a minefield. With Lendio’s proprietary tools you can now automate the bulk of the heavy lifting, allowing you to find the right loans for your clients without spending hours trying to understand each lender’s requirements. One application from your client is all you’ll need for them to be reviewed by over 75 lenders!

Strategic Partnerships

As a franchisee, you will have the support of many well known companies who promote and recommend Lendio. Lendio has partnered with prominent companies such as UPS, Staples, and GoDaddy. Their #1 choice for small business owners seeking funding is the Lendio Marketplace.

Low Investment

Unlike most other franchise opportunities, Lendio’s start-up costs are significantly lower. This enables us to partner with the right people who are the best fit instead of who has the most money. If you’ve always dreamed of owning a franchise and running your own business, this may be your golden opportunity to let your skills shine, regardless of what’s in your bank account.

Perfectly Positioned

Unlike other industries, the small business loan industry remains in play, even during economic downturns. In some cases, a small business’s need for capital may only intensify in a struggling economy. The advantage of Lendio’s platform is that since we are not the lender but rather a marketplace connecting dozens of lenders, if a lender begins struggling, we simply remove them from our platform and find other best-in-class Lenders to take their place. As long as small businesses need funding and banks and other alternative lenders are looking to lend, Lendio will be at the center of streamlining that process.

Massive Demand

When 40% of small business owners consider outside funding to help them grow, but 80% of loan applications with traditional lenders are turned down, there is a definite need and market for alternative lending sources! Lendio’s franchise opportunity allows you to make a real difference with these business owners who are seeking additional capital to grow their business.
