The providers listed above are examples of business funding providers and lender types that may be available in the market. DirectLend AI does not guarantee that every provider shown is available to every applicant, is currently active in our partner network, or will offer funding to your business. Funding options depend on the information you provide, lender criteria, location, documentation, and partner availability. Rates, fees, repayment terms, funding amounts, and funding timelines vary by lender or funding partner. Examples shown are for informational purposes only and may not be available to every business. DirectLend AI does not set rates, make credit decisions, or guarantee any financing terms.

Our lend-match technology

Directlend AI analyzes dozens of data points you enter when building your business profile and compares them to the guidelines of 75+ lending partners.

The result is 3 top matches for your business, based on your business profile, helping you find the best rates and terms possible.

Our matching system is trained on each lender's:
- Current rates and terms
- Payment options & timeline
- Monthly revenue & credit
- Industry & business type 

Weighing these factors, we can ensure that your business matches the lender with the highest likelihood of providing you with an approval.

Business Financing Guide

Time in business

Your business will be in a stronger position to borrow if you can prove you have a track record of solid revenue over the past one to two years.

Cash flow

A business cash-flow projection shows when money is collected, when cash goes out and what’s left. Lenders typically like to see that you understand where your business’s money is going each month.

Credit Score

Lenders use your credit score to determine your riskiness as a borrower. In most cases, you’ll need a good to excellent credit score in the mid-600s or higher to get a business loan, although certain lenders allow scores as low as 500.

Collateral 

Some of lenders may offer more favorable rates and terms when collateral is available. Typical forms of collateral include real estate, equipment, money owed to your company (accounts receivable), and even cash. (Collateral is not required)

DirectLend AI is designed for U.S. business funding requests. DirectLend AI does not offer personal loans, consumer loans, student loans, payday loans, or residential mortgage loans.

© 2026 Slaterock Automation LLC DBA Directlend AI | 802 E Whiting St, Tampa, FL 33602. Directlend is an online matching platform that helps business owners discover lending options (including but not limited to: revenue-based financing, term loans, lines of credit, personal loans, etc.) based on the details they provide during the business profile creation stage. Submitting your business profile is not a loan application and does not guarantee approval, funding amount, rate, or terms. If you choose to continue with a matched partner, that partner may review your information and contact you about available options.

Financing decisions are made by independent direct lenders. Approval, rates, terms, and timing are subject to the lender and are not guaranteed.​ Repayment Periods: Minimum repayment terms start at 1 month, with maximum repayment periods up to 10 years (depending on the lender and loan product). Maximum Annual Percentage Rate (APR): The maximum APR offered by lenders in our network is 35.99%. Representative Example of Total Cost: A $10,000 loan for 12 months at a 10% APR would have a total repayment amount of $10,549.91 (which includes the principal and all applicable interest/fees over the life of the loan).
