Lendistry

"This may sound obvious, but sometimes businesses lose sight of what should remain clearly in focus. The purpose of a business is to provide a solution to a problem. Lendisty's purported area of expertise is helping businesses deal with governmental red tape. So when a unique problem arises - you would expect a subject matter expert to recognize, respond and provide resolution to a problem. On the contrary, Lendistry avoided and obfuscated the truth - at best. After being selected for and awarded a business grant - we realized our selection criteria placed us in a confusing category. Lendistry never responded to our inquiries. We were forced to take them to court to seek remedy due to their lack of response. Once in court, they chose to fight us - rather than do the right thing by lending aid to a small business - and it became clear that they were more than willing to say whatever it took to avoid paying the money that was owed. So tread carefully when considering Lendistry - if you have other options available to you - take them. Lendistry is nothing more than a middleman predominantly focused on safeguarding their cut..."

"I can't thank Lendistry enough for saving my business from closure due to unexpected capital depletion during rapid growth. After months of unsuccessful applications at 10 financial institutions, including CDFIs, despite my 700+ credit score, Arizona Commerce Authority referred me to Lendistry. From the moment I contacted Rutger, they went above and beyond. May and Brian, an incredible team with Brian's management, guided me through the SBA Express Loan program. Within 60 days, I had an approval letter and funded loan. Unlike other lenders who solely focused on denial reasons, Lendistry worked with me, addressing each obstacle and crafting solutions. As a business owner and mother, navigating loan documents was daunting. Lendistry provided the platform and personal support I needed to succeed. They truly live up to their commitment to empowering minorities, not just those with perfect circumstances, but also those facing credit challenges, by offering crucial tools and assistance throughout the loan journey. My heartfelt gratitude remains with Lendistry."

"Paid our loan off four months early and they are taking their sweet time unlocking our bank account. Would not recommend this company for a business loan. Update: This proves that reviews are seen! Lendristry updated our our account today and unlocked the bank account after 5 business days! Better than the 14 they quoted earlier. Upgrading to 4 stars from 1."

"After reading recent reviews I was a little nervous to work with Lendistry. But on the contrary I had a very positive experience. My loan officer was responsive every step of the way. The whole process took about three weeks to get the funding my business needed. My only complaint was the phone number available- it’s a general line and hard to get ahold of a specific person. Before I even applied I tried to call and get some information on the Colorado startup loan fund- whoever assisted me wasn’t super helpful and couldn’t answer my questions. So I decided to apply for a loan with another bank and had a pretty bad experience leading me to apply with lendistry and lendistry turned out to be great! Thanks lendistry!"

"I am absolutely baffled by the scores I see here. They messed up on the eog grants so bad. It took them so long. I could have done a better job handling the entire county grant if I worked by myself on it. Roller coaster ride from the start. Constantly changing dates and expectations. Just a horrible institution playing with client's emotions and wasting their time."
