Loan marketplaces collect your information and sell it to the highest bidder. SMB Capital Funding is a direct lender — your application goes to one place, and you get one decision.
Apply Direct — 60 Seconds →Sites like BusinessLoans.com, Lendio, and Fundera are lead aggregators — they don't fund anything. Here's what actually happens when you apply:
You fill out an application thinking you're applying to one lender. You're not.
Your data gets sold to 5-15 different brokers and lenders. Each one contacts you.
Expect 10+ calls within minutes. Each broker tries to close you before the others.
Brokers add their fee on top. You pay more because there's a middleman taking a cut.

| Your data privacy | Shared with 5-15 third parties | Stays with us — never sold |
