How lender matching works
No credit check · No SSN
Lender matching means you answer a few structural questions about your business, what you do, how long you have operated, and your size, and a marketplace shows you the lenders that work with businesses like yours. You choose who to connect with. YesLane is that marketplace: not a lender, and free for businesses.
Lender matching is the idea behind a funding marketplace: instead of approaching lenders one at a time, you answer a few structural questions once and see the lenders that work with businesses like yours.
This guide explains how matching works in plain terms, and how YesLane, a funding marketplace, connects you with the lenders you choose. YesLane is not a lender, and it is free for businesses.
What a funding marketplace does
Because lenders differ so widely in who they serve, finding the right ones by knocking on doors one at a time is slow and discouraging. A funding marketplace turns that around: you describe your business once, and it surfaces the lenders whose focus lines up with businesses like yours.
YesLane operates as a neutral matching directory. We are not a lender, we do not make the funding decision, and we do not set any terms. We help you see your best matches and connect you with the ones you choose, the decision is always yours.
How matching works, in plain terms
You answer a few structural questions
What you do, how long you have operated, and your size, described in neutral bands, not exact figures.
You see lenders that work with businesses like yours
We match on those structural details to surface the lenders in our marketplace whose focus lines up with businesses like yours.
You choose who to connect with
You decide which lenders to reach out to. We connect you only with the ones you select, and each runs its own process directly with you.
What makes the model work for you
Not a lender
YesLane is a funding marketplace, not a lender. We help you see which lenders work with businesses like yours; we never make the decision.
Free for your business
YesLane is free for businesses to use. Lenders support the marketplace, so seeing your matches costs you nothing.
You stay in control
You choose which lenders to connect with. We connect you only with the ones you select, and the conversation continues directly from there.
