Lending firms typically support a range of businesses, from early-stage startups looking to establish operations to growing companies in need of working capital or equipment financing.
Funding companies assess startups based on key criteria such as the strength of the founding team, revenue potential, business model, and the company's ability to service debt responsibly.
Lender financing involves providing capital that must be repaid over time—usually with interest—whereas venture capital involves equity investment in exchange for ownership stakes, typically in high-growth startups.
Due diligence is a critical step in lending, involving a close review of the startup’s financials, creditworthiness, business operations, and market position to ensure the business can sustain and repay the loan.
Startups may access lending from sources such as banks, online lenders, community development financial institutions (CDFIs), and alternative funding platforms that specialize in small business financing.
Lending companies manage risk by conducting detailed underwriting, reviewing financial documentation, securing personal or business guarantees, and working with lenders that align with the borrower's credit profile and business goals.
