Lendio
Online marketplace for small business loans
About
Founded in 2011 by Brock Blake and Trent Miskin in Utah, Lendio operates the largest online lending marketplace in the US targeting small business owners. A single 15-minute application routes borrowers across more than 75 vetted lenders and funding sources, replacing a process that traditionally required 25 hours of paperwork across multiple institutions. Lendio does not lend directly; it earns fees by matching borrowers to the best available offers for term loans, SBA loans, lines of credit, equipment financing, and merchant cash advances. Since facilitating its first loan in 2013, the platform has helped small businesses access over $1 billion in cumulative funding, targeting the underserved SMB segment that traditional banks consistently decline.
