Coverdash and Lendistry Simplify Insurance and Accelerate Access to Capital

We’re excited to announce Coverdash’s new collaboration with Lendistry, a leading SBA Preferred Lender, minority-led fintech and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) recognized by American Banker as one of the Best Places to Work in Fintech for 2025. This collaboration helps Lendistry’s small business customers more easily navigate insurance requirements that are often essential for securing financing.

Lendistry provides a broad suite of financing options including SBA 7(a) loans, term loans, and commercial real estate loans. As part of the lending process, business owners are often required to carry specific types of business insurance to secure their funding. These requirements help protect business assets used as collateral, but they can add friction to an already complex process.

Through this relationship, Coverdash provides Lendistry customers affordable insurance options and instant quotes online - making it easier to meet insurance requirements and move funding forward quickly. Typical required policies include general liability, workers’ compensation, and property or hazard insurance, depending on the loan type and business needs.

This streamlined access to insurance supports Lendistry’s broader mission of expanding access to capital for underserved communities including minority-owned businesses, veterans, and entrepreneurs in rural areas. With over $10.5 billion deployed to more than 640,000 small businesses, Lendistry is one of the country’s most impactful mission-driven lenders.

Together, we’re helping entrepreneurs protect what they’ve built and grow with confidence.

“I found them while searching for new commercial insurance. They are fantastic. The one thing that is most important is communication. They do a great job with communicating everything with us, along with trying to find us the best deal possible. I would recommend Coverdash to others.”

Lisa S.

“Coverdash has been amazing to work with! They listened, truly listened, to what I needed. I am in a niche market, and no one from the 10 other companies I tried to work with would listen. They were quick to make progress on a quote and kept me in the loop the whole way. I would 💯 suggest working with them.”

“What a good experience . I had been unsuccessful in trying to get General liability for my business . They were very professional and tireless in getting two bids for me .They were patient with my struggles trying to navigate the technical end of things telling me they would help me every step of the way and they did just that ..even reading the exclusion to me .. They were patient in explaining all the terms I did not understand and sent copies of everything . They were prompt to respond to my calls and I will definitely use them again for all my insurance needs.”

Joey W.

“They helped me secure & submit insurance requirements with less than a 24 hour timeline. It was the difference between getting a contract or not for me, even though the time crunch wasn’t their problem, they helped me secure what I needed to make it happen. When AI and computers have limits, a real person knows how to get past hurdles. Highly recommend Coverdash, so glad I found them.”
