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.
