Lender Introductions for Business Financing

Lender Introductions for Business Financing

You do not need “a lender list.” You need the right lender for your exact deal, contacted the right way, with a file that underwrites. Financely provides paid lender introductions for commercial borrowers and deal sponsors, paired with packaging and a managed term sheet workflow.

This is commercial only. No personal loans. No consumer credit. If you need a broader view of what we arrange, see How It Works and submit through Request A Quote.

What “Lender Introductions” Means in Practice

A real introduction is not a forwarded email. We map your request to lender mandates, structure the positioning, prepare the lender package, and introduce your file to matched credit funds and specialty lenders who actually quote on deals like yours. You get a controlled process aimed at written term sheets and a clear path to close.

Reality: lenders ignore messy inbound requests. If the credit story is unclear, documents are missing, or the ask does not fit the mandate, you will get silence, not offers.

Typical Use Cases

Acquisition and Sponsor Deals

  • Small business acquisitions and lower middle market buyouts
  • Independent sponsor deals with identified equity
  • LOI or signed purchase agreement situations

We translate the deal into lender language: sources and uses, leverage, collateral, covenants, and closing conditions.

Commercial Real Estate

  • Bridge loans and transitional assets
  • Refinancing, maturity solutions, recapitalizations
  • Construction, preferred equity, and gap capital (case dependent)

We focus on sponsor profile, cash flow, business plan, DSCR, and lender protections.

Asset-Based and Working Capital

  • Receivables and inventory-backed facilities
  • Equipment loans and sale-leasebacks
  • Borrowing base and revolvers

For trade-oriented files, start with trade finance fundamentals.

Trade and Project Finance

  • Commodity flow finance (case dependent)
  • Project finance capital raising and structured debt
  • Credit enhancement and bank instruments where appropriate

If an instrument is required, see our SBLC guide.

What You Get When You Pay for Introductions

What We Require From You

We can move quickly when your file is real. Expect to provide a basic KYC pack, the commercial objective, and enough documentation to underwrite the request. If you are early, that is fine, but we will scope the service around what can be supported in writing.

Minimum inputs

  • Entity and ownership details for KYC
  • Financials or operating metrics
  • Transaction documents or a clear summary
  • Collateral overview and existing debt
  • Target size, timing, and use of proceeds

Common deal killers

  • Unclear use of proceeds or shifting stories
  • No evidence of repayment capacity
  • Hidden broker chains and unknown principals
  • Unsupported ticket size relative to the business
  • Missing documents paired with urgent timelines

Closing Procedure and Indicative Timeline

Introductions only work when the process is managed. This is the standard flow.

Important: we do not promise approvals. We run a professional lender process designed to produce term sheets when the credit supports the ask.

FAQ

Is this a personal loan service

No. This is commercial only. We work with businesses, deal sponsors, and institutional counterparties seeking business-purpose financing.

Do you sell lender lists

No. Lists are cheap and usually useless. We provide a matched introduction process with packaging and workflow management aimed at term sheets.

Can you introduce us to banks

Depending on the deal, introductions may include banks, credit funds, and specialty lenders. Bank appetite depends on risk, collateral, financial profile, and compliance. Where bank instruments are relevant, see SBLC fundamentals.

What types of financing can you place

Senior secured, unitranche, mezzanine, preferred and gap solutions, and asset-based structures, depending on the facts. If you want the process view, start with How It Works.

What if we are not ready and need guidance first

If you need a structured discussion before engaging, use paid consultation. If you are ready to submit the file, use Request A Quote.

Do you guarantee a close

No. Outcomes depend on credit, documentation quality, collateral, compliance, and lender approvals. We run the lender process and manage the workflow through closing when offers are issued.
