Questions

Before you apply anywhere else.

Don't see your question? Call (877) 356-8006.

Are you a lender?

No. Operation Lend is not a direct lender or a mortgage broker. We work with banks, lenders, and licensed mortgage professionals. Our job is to get you ready, match you with lenders suited to your profile, and guide you until you're funded.

What does it cost?

There's no upfront fee on most funding. For business, unsecured, and personal funding, we're paid a success fee — typically 10–12% of the amount funded — only when you're funded. DSCR loans and other set programs carry a flat program fee, quoted in writing before you start. Third-party costs, like appraisals, are paid to the provider.

Will this hurt my credit?

No. With your okay, we run a soft credit check through iSoftPull, which does not affect your score. A hard inquiry happens only after you accept a specific offer from a lender.

What are the rates?

Rates are set by the lender and depend on the product, your credit, time in business, and revenue — from promotional 0% business credit lines to higher-cost short-term products. We aim for the lowest-cost product you can actually close, and we avoid merchant cash advances unless you decide speed is worth it.

How much can I get?

Startups are commonly approved for up to about $500,000 in combined funding. Established businesses can go further. Real estate backed by the property can run into the millions.

I've been declined before. Can you still help?

Usually, yes. A decline most often means the application went to the wrong lender, or too early. Your readiness check shows exactly what needs to change — and that advice is free.

I already have a quote. Should I still talk to you?

Yes — bring it. We'll tell you whether it's the right product or just the fast one, and whether a better option is likely.
