Lendistry

Direct funder Founded 2015 Checked Sep 30, 2026
Lendistry, which describes itself as a minority-led Community Development Financial Institution, offers fixed-rate business term loans and SBA 7(a) loans. It publishes a 620 minimum FICO score, amounts from $10,000 to $5,000,000 depending on the program, and requires a personal guaranty from every owner with 20% or more.
Heads up. SBA loans are limited to U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals, and Lendistry says lawful permanent residents are no longer eligible. The rates it shows are its lowest and are not available to all borrowers.
