Take 5 minutes to tell us about yourself and your business. If you meet our initial eligibility criteria, you’ll receive an email with a link to our Lenderfit loan application platform. Please click the link in that email and make an account. Please make sure you check your junk folder if you don’t receive it. Note that your pre-application is NOT COMPLETE until you make an account on our Lenderfit platform. Once you’re logged in, you’ll see a checklist outlining the underwriting process as well as the items we will need you to submit along the way. You can send any questions you have directly through the message feature on the Lenderfit portal.
To process your small business loan application, you’ll be asked to upload your three most recent business bank statements and your 2020 & 2021 tax return or a basic profit and loss (P&L) statement, and to complete a credit report authorization form. If you don’t have a P&L and need some help, here’s a step-by-guide to put one together.
