Is Lobi Capital a lender?

No. Lobi Capital is being built as a marketplace that helps small business owners prepare a request and connect with participating funding providers. Any financing agreement will be made directly with the provider.

Does joining the launch list affect my credit?

No. Joining the list is not a credit application and does not require a credit check. A participating provider may request permission for a credit review later.

How fast can funding happen?

Timing will depend on the provider, your business, and the documents required. We will publish specific timelines only after participating providers are integrated.

What information will I need?

Most providers ask about your time in business, revenue, funding purpose, ownership, and recent financial records. The exact request will vary by provider and product.

Is approval guaranteed?

No. Joining Lobi Capital does not guarantee an offer, approval, rate, or funding amount. Each participating provider makes its own decision.

How are rates and terms determined?

The participating provider sets its own rates, fees, repayment terms, and eligibility rules. You should review every disclosure before accepting an offer.

Why Lobi Capital

Funding is complicated. Your first step should not be.

Start in one place

Describe what you need before choosing a product or provider.

See the next step

Know what information may be requested before the formal process begins.

Meet participating providers

Continue with a provider whose product may fit your business.

How it works

A smaller first step.

You do not need to know the product name. Start with the job the money needs to do.

Apply

Share the amount you have in mind and the job the money needs to do, like covering payroll, buying equipment, or stocking inventory. You do not need to know whether that calls for a loan, a line of credit, or something else. That translation is our job.
We explain which funding types are commonly used for your situation, what information a provider will likely ask for, and what trade-offs to expect, such as speed versus cost. No rates or approvals are quoted at this stage.
When provider integrations are live, launch-list members hear first and can move forward with a provider whose product fits. Joining the list is free, is not a credit application, and never obligates you to accept an offer.

Built for small business

Money has a job to do.

Name the job first. The product comes second.
