The Good

  • Same-Day Approval
  • Funds Wired in as Little as Two Hours
  • No Prepayment Penalties
  • Minimal Loan Requirements 

Same-Day Approval

LoanMe provides an online application that is available 24/7 and can be accessed and completed at any time of day. The company also allows potential borrowers to apply over the phone by contacting a LoanMe representative. Once the form is complete, applicants will receive an instant decision as to whether or not they qualified and for how much, as well as have the opportunity to review their loan documents and terms to ensure the loan is the right fit for them.

Funds Wired in as Little as Two Hours

Most business loans from LoanMe feature as soon as same-day or next-day funding, which means borrowers can quickly access their money. The company will wire the cash to your bank account, often in as little as two hours.

No Prepayment Penalties

LoanMe’s business loans can be repaid via monthly fixed payments with terms up to 10 years. However, the company allows borrowers to pay off their loan early without incurring any prepayment penalties or fees.

Minimal Loan Requirements 

LoanMe allows borrowers to use its business loans for a variety of purposes, including company development, production level increases, and service quality increases. Funds can be used as a bridge loan or put towards payroll, invoices, investments, equipment, inventory, start-up costs, and expansion. There is also no minimum revenue requirement. 

In order to qualify, the borrower must have:

  • At least two months in business with income
  • A for-profit business
  • A business bank account in the name of the company
  • A personal credit score of 500+

LoanMe's Near Prime product is available in amounts of $3,100–$30,000 in Arizona, California, Delaware, Idaho, Missouri, New Mexico, South Carolina, Utah, and Wisconsin. 

For subprime credit (580+) specifically, LoanMe offers its Flex product in loan amounts of $11,500– $20,000 to eligible borrowers in Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Missouri, New Mexico, and Utah. 

Prospective borrowers in South Carolina and Wisconsin with a credit score of 500+ can borrow $1,000–$6,000.

The Bad

  • Low Max Loan Amount
  • Not Available in All States

Low Max Loan Amount

LoanMe’s maximum loan amount for a business loan is $250,000, which is relatively low when compared to max loan amounts offered by some other lenders. LoanMe states on its website that it gears its products more towards businesses that don’t qualify for traditional loans or those that have urgent short-term cash needs.

Not Available in All States

While some business loan providers offer financing nationwide, LoanMe does not.

The company offers business loans in the following 30 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

The Bottom Line

LoanMe is a good option for borrowers who do not qualify for traditional business loans or have urgent short-term cash needs. Although the company has a few minimum requirements for applicants, its simple online application, quick funding time, flexible fund use, and lack of prepayment penalties are attractive options.

If you’re looking to borrow less than $250,000 and need a loan in one of the states the company services, we recommend pursuing a business loan from LoanMe.

The process was swift, painless, expeditious, and professional. The interest rates very high but I they provided me what I needed when I needed it. My intention is to pay this off quickly. They did what they agreed to do in a timely manner. LoanMe's customer service was professional.

Getting my loan was easy. I didn't have to deal with many things. They responded quickly and then they took care of me really quickly. When I called them, they connected me right away with my representative. They return calls fast. They gave me more money than I expected and they work really hard to get my loan.

It worked out even better than I expected. It's an excellent service and so far it's been a rapid process. First I submitted the application then more materials and they review them and the later options were of a greater magnitude than I had expected.

Rates and Fee's are outrageous. 79% interest rate? We will be paying the loan off within six months due to the fees and interest. Anyone looking to grow their business should look elsewhere. This also reports on your personal credit report. So if your trying to make any future purchases forget it because now your debt to income ratio will be a lot higher. We were just denied our home loan because now we have an additional $75000 loan on our credit. We have taken out many loans before and never had an issue with it reporting on our personal credit. Ondeck, Fundbox, Kabbage, are better choices than loanme.

Very high intrest, the company was quick and easy to deal with, but the money it cost to use them is astronomical. I'm hoping to be able to pay them off this spring. If I take the loan to it's completion a 14,000 dollar will cost me 80,000

Wow fast funding! Loan me is awesome. I had really low revenue because I’ve only been opened for 4 months. No one would lend me money, and I had a few late payments on my credit too. Luckily I found LoanMe from a recommendation from a friend and they were right! Money was wired to me within 2 hrs of applying.... Like seriously? I got way more than expected. THANK YOU LOANME!!

So glad I found these guys. I got turned down so many times for credit. I had a 550 credit score and they were able to get me $75,000! It was so fast, I got the money in my account literally within 2 hrs..I couldn’t believe how easy it was. Thank goodness because my pizza oven broke at my shop and I was able to get a new one ordered because of LoanMe. I highly recommend these guys!

Ruined my credit by reporting this BUSINESS LOAN to my personal credit. No other credit line , funding source has ever done this. So one week before I close on my house they discover this loan on my personal credit I had not disclosed because it was a BUSINESS LOAN and said I had to pay it in full at the closing table. This ruined me and I didn't personally have the money and I lost the HOUSE. I am STILL IN A MOTEL.

They lack in a few things like payment schedule so you can plan on how to pay loan off early. They also won't discuss things with my wife when getting ahold of me during the day is nearly impossible.

This place is a total joke, If you are in need of a serious lender don't mess with these people, They can't fund a $1 they say they can but they look for every excuse not to fund... They want the cream of the crop and Lendio who I went through warned me about these jokers and in the end yes they are exactly what I was told my loan rep with Loanme was Gregory D he is good about making every excuse , but doesn't know anything about lending . I highly recommend you don't waste your time on their false promises. I was told several times no issues in the end they are stuck over the fact our Pawn Shop gave someone a cash refund , wow should I have kept their money hell no that's not good business but Loanme apparently feels you should never issues a refund don't deal with them I swear on my life they are worthless and can't fund a quarter My name is Howard and this is the truth and my personal experience with Loanme and Gregory D don't deal with them

LoanMe has been great! They have allowed my business to get money fast and also don't penalize us to pay back the loan early. It's not as nice as a bank that instantly takes out the money, but it is very worth using considering if your company does well they can pay off the loan early!
