A $100 million milestone in advancing financial access for minority-owned businesses across the country. This milestone reflects the strength, resilience, and innovation of the entrepreneurs we serve—and reinforces our commitment to expanding access to capital where it’s needed most. We’re proud of the progress, but even more focused on what’s ahead. There’s more to build, more to fund, and more communities to support.

Lendinero, a fintech company focused on expanding access to capital for minority-owned businesses, announced today that it has funded more than $100 million across the United States over the past eight years.
“Access to capital remains one of the top challenges small businesses face as they work to maintain and scale their operations,” said Gil Zapata, Founder and CEO of Lendinero. “Traditional business loans are often difficult to secure and the application process can be time-consuming and complex.”
Zapata noted that while Lendinero facilitates SBA loans and bank term loans through its funding network, many businesses are unable to qualify due to cash flow reporting challenges rather than operational performance.
As a result, more than 80% of funding provided through Lendinero is structured through revenue based financing, alternative business finance or business lines of credit, offering streamlined applications and funding decisions in as little as 48 hours.
Founded 11 years ago, Lendinero was created to address this gap in access to capital for minority-owned small businesses.
The company attributes its sustained success to long-term funding partnerships, a hands-on customer support model, continuous investment in people and training, and a strong base of repeat clients.
Looking ahead, Lendinero plans to continue its growth over the next five years with a focus on stability, innovation, and expanding financial access nationwide.
