to help small businesses across Canada get the fast and affordable capital they need to grow
Our founders served as bank executives for over 30 years and saw countless opportunities to support small businesses missed. With deep financial expertise and a passion to support the economic engine of Canada, they created Lendified. Since then, we have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and built a team of funding specialists, technologists, and service experts dedicated to delivering the best borrowing experience.
Our business loans have become a popular alternative to paperwork intensive bank loans, expensive merchant cash advances, and other creative forms of financing disguised as true business loans.
Small business owners can apply online in under 10 minutes, receive an instant quote, and get funded in as fast as 48 hours.

Monique Morden has a data driven background combining over 20 years of experience in customer intelligence and over 10 years in technology. Monique played a role in disrupting the market research industry as a senior executive at Vision Critical, where their cloud based customer intelligence platform created an innovative alternative to traditional market research.
