Company Summary

Connect Lending was created to bridge the gap between businesses looking for loans and the lenders which are actively lending money. The process of simply walking into "your bank" for a loan doesn't always work or isn't the best choice for a large number of businesses. Many lenders have partnered with us because they recognize that no bank can give the best loan to every single client; it's just impossible.
