LendMark ingests 75+ alternative signals — cash flow, rent history, utility payments, business operating data — and produces a single 0–100 readiness score for every loan applicant. CDFIs, credit unions, and community banks use it to identify qualified borrowers faster and price risk more accurately.
LendMark produces a readiness assessment. The lender retains 100% of underwriting authority. This is not a workaround — it is the architectural foundation. Every layer of the platform enforces it.
75+ signals ingested: bank cash flow via Plaid, rent and utility payment history, revenue patterns, business operating tenure, documentation completeness.
0–100 deterministic score. Seven component scores weighted into a composite. Every component logged with the exact input values that produced it. Fully auditable.
Score and signal breakdown delivered to the loan officer. Lender reviews, interrogates, and makes the call. LendMark is intelligence, not authority.
The lender dashboard surfaces every signal that contributed to a readiness score — cash flow consistency, revenue stability, payment history, business tenure, debt service coverage, documentation completeness, and the alternative signal composite. Multi-tenant. Row-level security. No cross-tenant visibility, ever.
Phase 1 scoring is fully deterministic. No machine learning. Every component score is produced by a rules-based formula, logged with its exact inputs, and reproducible on demand. Auditable by any regulator.
Bank feed via Plaid. Inflows/outflows analyzed across 12+ months. Variance scored, not averaged.
Month-over-month revenue patterns. Seasonality-normalized. Growth trajectory weighted separately from volatility.
Rent, utilities, insurance, vendor payments — collected and verified. On-time consistency scored over volume.
Operating history, incorporation records, business license data. Length + stability + sector context.
Existing obligations against cash flow. Both secured and unsecured. Ratios over thresholds trigger penalties.
Tax returns, bank statements, contracts, invoices. Which are present, which are verified, which are stale.
Everything else: rental history, utility payments, industry-specific operating data, POS transaction volume, payroll data. Each normalized and weighted into a composite score.
You operate in relationship-based, mission-driven lending. LendMark fits your workflow — not the other way around.
Small business expertise lives in your loan officers, not in a score. We surface what you need to see faster.
Guided intake workflow — mobile-first, conversational, with an AI assistant that helps applicants complete every section.
Disparate impact monitoring, 4/5ths rule evaluation, CRA audit trail. Not bolted on — architected from the start.
The "invisible prime" borrower — the restaurateur who has never missed a rent payment, the contractor whose revenue is seasonal but predictable, the micro-enterprise founder who has run the same business for eight years — doesn't need to be approved. They need to be seen.
