The company has since become the leading small business loan marketplace in the U.S., with more than 75 of the nation’s top lenders on its platform. To date, the company has facilitated more than $10B in financing through more than 200,000 loans to small business owners across the U.S. This includes over $8B in Paycheck Protection Program loan approvals in 2020. As part of the company’s effort to facilitate these government relief funds, Lendio hired nearly 200 temporary-to-hire employees, many of whom have joined the company full-time.
“I love working at Lendio because it’s a company that holds true to its core values,” said Bryan Doom, Marketing Manager, Partnerships at Lendio. “Employees have the autonomy to own their roles, to be creative and to get scrappy to drive results. Every major decision that our leadership team makes seems to boil down to whether it’s good for small business owners, or whether it’s good for its employees.”
