It was easy to navigate

It was easy to navigate. The AI pre approval was perfect. After uploading all the documents our Loan Officer was great in assisting us along the way. I worked with another company for my SBA an it took them so long to get me even at pre approval. Lendistry is the best for business owners like me

Thank you, Lendistry

Lendistry helped us acquire a business loan that we needed to fund a new business. The one area of improvement that I could recommend is the duration and communication during the process. It took several weeks, which is understandable, but the communication to let us know that things were progressing could improve.

Getting the funding I needed was easy! It took a couple of weeks to finalize, but the interest rate was good and the monthly payment was perfect.

Worth the wait!

The process with Lendistry was excellent, and our point of contact, Tyler, was exceptionally understanding and patient in addressing all of our questions.
The only downside to the loan process is that it takes time—but if you're not in a rush, I would definitely recommend Lendistry. The interest rates they offer are well worth the wait, especially when compared to the predatory terms offered by other lenders who reached out to us.

Lendistry took 1 month, bad communication

Lendistry might have been good in the past but not for our business in 2025, they dragged the process for 1 month and kept asking for documents we have sent multiple times. We didn't apply for any other loans as we were waiting for Lendistry and then they decline us...for not sending documents, we did multiple times , wasted our time as business owners.

Thank you, Lendistry!

The fact that I only dealt with one organized, informative, and helpful agent, made the application process seamless and much less stressful than your competitive SBA 7(a) lenders.
