Lendzi is a U.S.-based financial services company that operates a loan comparison and referral platform, with headquarters in Los Angeles, California. It was founded in 2020. The company connects individuals and businesses with third-party lenders that offer business, personal, and real estate financing.^[1]

Lendzi has been described by consumer finance publications as a loan marketplace, not a direct lender, because it allows borrowers to compare financing options through a single application.^[1][2]

Lendzi is a privately held company founded in 2020. The firm was created to simplify the process of comparing loan options across multiple lenders.^[3]

Since its founding, Lendzi has operated as an intermediary platform that connects applicants with outside lending partners. It does not underwrite or issue loans.^[3]

In 2025, Lendzi was included in Inc.’s Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.^[4][5]

Lendzi operates as an online loan marketplace and referral service. Borrowers can apply once through the platform and then browse financing options offered by third-party lenders. Lendzi does not originate loans or operate as a bank.^[1]

Independent review sites, including Finder and Consumer Affairs, explain that loan terms, interest rates, and eligibility requirements are determined by partner lenders, and that funding amounts and costs vary depending on the exact product and lender chosen.^[2][6]

• Small business loan
• Startup business loans
• Business lines of credit
• SBA loans
• Equipment financing
• Merchant cash advances
• Real estate loans
• Home equity lines of credit

Third-party lending partners supply these products. Lendzi only acts as a comparison and referral platform.^[6][7]

Lendzi states that it uses a proprietary matching process to connect applicants with loan options from its partner networks. Users can submit an application without an upfront fee and compare multiple lending options.^[3]

Independent reviews from Bankrate and Finder describe the platform as an online marketplace for business loans.^[1][2]

According to the company’s website, Lendzi partners with several lending and financial services platforms, including LendingTree, Bluevine, Expansion Capital Group, BusinessLoans.com, NerdWallet, Kapitus, SmartBiz, Bitty Advance, Coverdash, and Entreprenista.^[8][9][10]
