How Lendistry Empowered My Women-Owned Business
Starting and growing a business as a woman entrepreneur comes with its own set of challenges, from securing funding to finding the right support system. When I first learned about Lendistry, I wasn’t sure what to expect—funding processes can often feel overwhelming and impersonal. But from the very beginning, Lendistry proved to be different.
Their team was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely supportive. They took the time to understand my business, the struggles I faced as a women-owned brand, and what I needed to move forward. Unlike traditional lenders, Lendistry didn’t just look at numbers—they saw the vision behind my brand and the impact I wanted to create.
The application process was smooth and transparent. Any questions I had were answered promptly, and they walked me through every step, making sure I felt confident along the way. Thanks to their support, I was able to secure the funding needed to expand, invest in new opportunities, and continue growing my business.
Lendistry isn’t just a lender—they are a true partner in the journey of small businesses. Their commitment to empowering minority and women entrepreneurs is real, and I am beyond grateful for their role in my business’s success. If you’re a small business owner looking for funding with a human touch, I highly recommend Lendistry.
💡 Tip for fellow women entrepreneurs: Don’t be afraid to seek funding. The right partners, like Lendistry, will believe in you as much as you believe in yourself!

The process took a while and they could do better on their follow-up communication so you aren't sitting in the dark for so long but I have to say I still love them. They were able to get me an SBA loan where others did not. I have reasonable payments. My personal credit did not take a hit. I would go to them again.

Overall, it was a fair process, and the representatives were fairly responsive and polite. The application process was a little tedious and the prep for the underwriters was sometimes a bit intrusive and a bit much, but overall it's for an SBA loan and not another same day sub-prime predatory loan, so I suppose the process is what it is - similar to a mortgage but not as intense or long (about 3 weeks total start until funding).

Secured the Funds Needed. While the process of the application took longer than desired, in the end the SBA loan was processed successfully. The Lendistry platform for the application and uploading of documents could be improved.
