LiftFund was founded to level the financial playing field for the underestimated entrepreneur. We provide a hand up to small business owners, so they have a chance to succeed. We've provided millions of dollars in micro and small business loans to diverse, hard-working entrepreneurs with a 96% successful repayment rate.
For every $1 we lend, there is a positive economic return of $14. Daily, thousands of small businesses and entrepreneurs are denied capital and tap into high interest rate debt and predatory lenders that cost more than they can afford. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build a company successfully with capital no matter their background, race, ethnicity, sexual identity or geography.

It was fairly easy to get a loan and overall pleasant experience until I found out that this loan was on my personal credit report and this factt affected my home purchase greatly. I decided to pay it off, which I did online, because I could not reach anybody on the phone. I was not able to stop autodraft, nobody ever gets back to me and I continue being charged monthly fee on 0 balance loan. Making a last attempt to drive to the nearest physical location. Its like a scam, you call them and cannot get pass by receptionists or they just hang up on you. If you have a choice, do not go with this company

This company should have been our first stop before searching for a home. the team are well experience and has strategies, for getting the best rate on a mortgage loan. I liked the fact that they deeply understood the urgency in the purchasing process and had invaluable knowledge within the industry.They reminded me of the kind of person who is in your corner of the ring when you really need it. I felt the advice shared was a blessing.
Yes,the rates are hands down the best. But I liked how i was being told the good and bad news straight. Responsiveness was excellent and got back to me quickly

Terrible customer service with inconsistent messages depending on the reps you speak with. There was also no mention of this being a secured loan through out the application process. Took 4 days to finally reach some one who looked my application over. Would have been better off going with One Main financial.
Small business owners I would suggest you look elsewhere like PayPal credit, Square Credit, even Kabbage. This whole process has been an utter joke.

Not a good experience. Slow to get back with us regarding very important questions we had regarding the interest rate on the loan and collateral required. The whole process was like they were giving us a handout in spite of the fact that we have excellent credit and great collateral. 13.5 interest rate vs 3.5% from our bank for a line of credit is much better than they could offer. I thought they were supposed to help small business women instead of adding more debt to their businesses. They could have been more friendly and forthcoming regarding the requirements they have and what their program

We are extremely happy with the professionals at Lift Fund from the front desk receptionist to our loan manager Jonathan Sarabia. Jonathan was great at presenting the program and made it simple for us to understand the products that he had to offer. After meeting with him the first time I found a better loan product then the one I had in mind that saved us a lot of money. Thank you all and keep up the great work.

Beware when applying for funding with this organization. I'd suggest making sure you speak with someone beyond the intake/information reps to ensure they actually offer funding for the specific type of business you have. I submitted an application and they performed a hard hit on my credit (somehow they were able to do this w/o me providing my SSN, as I had not yet provided it), only to call and tell me they do not offer funding for my line of business. While I understand that they do not loan to my type of business, it would have been nice to know this before they moved forward on an action that
