Questions, answered
What do lenders usually look at?
Requirements vary, but lenders commonly consider time in business, revenue, cash flow, how the funds will be used and the owner's credit history.
Will I be approved?
Approval isn't guaranteed. Each participating lender reviews your business and personal information and decides eligibility, amount, rate and terms.
How should I compare business financing offers?
Look at the total cost, not just the payment. Compare APR where it's provided, fees, term, how often payments are due and whether collateral or a personal guarantee is required.
Is Lendara a lender?
No. Lendara is a free online marketplace that connects you with participating lenders. We do not make credit decisions or lend money directly.
How does Lendara make money?
We may receive compensation from partners when you view or engage with offers. This can influence which offers appear and their order.

Lendara is a marketplace, not a lender, and does not make credit decisions. Rates and terms vary by lender and are determined by the lender. Some lenders may require collateral or a personal guarantee, and some products are quoted as a factor rate rather than an APR. Applying with a lender may result in a hard inquiry. We do not guarantee approval, rates or savings.
