We were referred to Lendistry through the SBA. The experience was not as daunting as we expected. The team at Lendistry was very knowledgeable and professional.
Hi Henok, We're glad you had a positive experience. Thank you for your review!
When all banks or other intuitions closed the door on us, we just needed someone to look at the whole picture. We are doing well and needed funding to better manage cash flow and manage bad debt. Lendistry did not give up on us and embraced our commitment and vision. Thank you so much for lending a hand to keep moving us forward.
We're happy to be a part of your business's journey!
I would absolutely never use lendistry again. Between the hidden fees and sudden changes of interest rates as soon as you apply for the loan, they have added fees they do all this after they do a hard draw on your credit so that you feel stuck with them all of a sudden after they pulled your credit, the fee start adding up the terms of the loan change. I wound up having to apply for $55,000 because of the way they do things they claimed 15% interest they changed it to 20% interest. They charged me $3000 for processing the loan which they took out of the 55,000 instead of wrapping it into the payments so I only received 52,000. I have to pay interest on the $3000 that they took out of my funds the day after I received the funds which took almost 2 months to get I have to give them $3000 back for my first payment. This means that I borrowed $49,000 and have to pay them back well over $75,000.Dollars. Trickery lies and predation. I would never advise anyone use this company.
Thank you for your review.
Will recommend Lendisty to all my small business friends.
Hi Samuel, Thank you for your review!
Hi Atish, Thank you for your feedback!
Excellent communication throughout the process. They walked through my options and explored different avenues to access the capital I needed for my business that would help my business grow not just add debt. I love the short term loan. Frank and Robert were so easy to work with.
Hi Michelle, We're happy to be a part of your business's journey!
I was misled that i qualify for SBA loan and was offered a very high interest rate at the end and multiple updates requiring signatures again and again every few days It was painful
