Bridging the Lending Chasm

The hard truth? Small business owners speak the language of their trade or business. Lenders, on the other hand, speak the language of lending. In the chasm between them, valuable opportunities are lost every day.

America runs on small business. Small business runs on capital.

For 15 years, we've witnessed the same story play out across the country: brilliant entrepreneurs with viable businesses struggling to secure the funding they need—not because their ideas lack merit, but because the financial world speaks a different language.

The funding gap isn't just a challenge. It's a crisis of translation.

While we've successfully helped thousands of small businesses secure critical financing, countless others have watched their growth opportunities vanish in the communication breakdown between Main Street and Wall Street.

At ZYQ.ai, we're bridging this divide.

The result? More approvals. Faster funding. Stronger businesses.

Discover how we're revolutionizing small business lending and empowering America's economic engine, one successful funding story at a time.

15 YEARS OF COMMERCIAL LENDING EXPERTISE

ZYQ.ai isn't just another lending platform. We're veterans of commercial lending who've spent time in the trenches, witnessing firsthand how a broken system fails the very entrepreneurs who drive our economy.

Our mission is radically simple: make it easier for lenders to lend and borrowers to borrow.

This time in the trenches has given us a unique perspective on lending. By working closely with both lenders and borrowers, we've developed insights that put us in the perfect position to solve the small business lending dilemma. We understand the challenges from both sides of the equation.

The technology is finally here. The expertise is definitely here.

The future of small business funding starts now.

The Lending Chasm

Where small business dreams get lost in translation

Small Business Owners

  • "I need $50k for a new truck"
  • "Business is good, customers love us"
  • "I've been in business for 5 years"
  • "I can pay it back in 2 years, no problem"

Lenders

  • "What's your EBITDA and debt service coverage ratio?"
  • "I need 3 years of financial statements"
  • "What's your current leverage ratio?"
  • "We need detailed cash flow projections"

The Future: Lending Exchange

A Lender-to-Lender Exchange that transforms turndowns into opportunities and expands access to capital

Transforming Declines into Approvals

So often the complexity of the deal or a simple mismatch of lender risk profile and borrower industry or other metric results in a decline. These declines are often thrown back to the borrower to start over, the result is lost opportunity for borrower and originating lender. The Exchange changes that.

With access to a network of lenders on the exchange, lenders can refer turndowns, de-risk loans, or otherwise meet lending criteria through partnership within their lending network on the exchange. The result is more funding—a win-win for lenders and borrowers.

Turndown Referrals and Monetization

Convert declined applications into revenue opportunities by referring them to compatible lenders.

Co-lending and Deal Syndication

Share risk and collaborate with other lenders to fund larger or more complex deals.

Expanded Access to Funding

Connect borrowers with a broader lending network to increase approval rates and funding options.

Lender Network Collaboration

Build relationships with complementary lenders to create a more robust lending ecosystem.
