The fifth annual LendIt Fintech Industry Awards recognizes rising leaders in the financial services industry in 14 unique categories. Reliant Funding is honored to be nominated as a finalist in the Top Small Business Lending Platform category for 2022, which recognizes organizations based on a combination of loan performance, volume, growth, product diversity and innovation.
LendIt is a leading media and events company dedicated to innovation in lending and digital banking. Dedicated to documenting and empowering the ongoing digital revolution in finance, LendIt hosts three large annual conferences, a daily financial news service, and a thriving online community.
Our Story
Reliant was founded in 2008 to offer a better way for small businesses to receive fast, flexible funding. We are proud to have helped entrepreneurs weather hard times, reach business milestones, and make funding accessible to everyone.
As part of the financial services revolution, Reliant offers industry-specific loan counseling and funding – often within as little as 24 hours. Even better: the entire customer-centered process can be completed online. Unlike traditional bank-based funding, over 70% of Reliant’s applications for funding are approved. There are never any application fees to apply for funding.

During the last year, Reliant transformed its funding process to be a more robust online experience enabling small businesses to apply, receive customized offers, and receive funding in their account in a matter of hours. As a result, Reliant has seen an increase in both the number of applicants and fundings.
