Lendio Ranks Among Highest-Scoring Businesses on Inc. Magazine’s Annual List of Best Workplaces for 2021

The company makes the list for the third year in a row, citing work culture, growth and opportunity for its workplace success 

Lehi, Utah – May 12, 2021 – Lendio, the nation’s leading small business finance solutions provider, has been named to Inc. magazine’s annual list of the Best Workplaces for 2021. The list results from a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of American companies that have created exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether teams are operating in person or remotely.

Lendio was founded in 2011 by Brock Blake and Trent Miskin. The company has since become the leading small business loan marketplace in the U.S. To date, the company has facilitated $12B in financing through more than 300,000 loans to small business owners across the U.S. This includes nearly $10B in Paycheck Protection Program loan approvals since the program’s inception in April 2020. As part of the company’s effort to facilitate these government relief funds, Lendio hired hundreds of temporary-to-hire employees, many of whom have joined the company full-time.

Collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. singled out 429 honorees this year. Each nominated company took part in an anonymous employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, on topics including management effectiveness, perks and fostering employee growth. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine the company’s overall score and ranking. 

“The pandemic and the effects of the last year have been trying for everyone, small business owners in particular. Fortunately, Lendio’s committed team members, emboldened by the company’s values, have been able to distribute billions of dollars in relief funds to small businesses,” said Brock Blake, CEO and co-founder of Lendio. “Lendio’s participation in this unprecedented effort would not have been possible without the contributions of each one of our team members. We operate with a rule that each team member is the CEO of their own job, enabling them to do their absolute best work. Their commitment to saving livelihoods and the small business economy has been inspiring, and this recognition from Inc. is a testament to their hard work and dedication.” 

“The definition of a positive workplace has changed drastically over the past year,” says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “Stocked fridges and nap pods were no longer perks many companies could rely on once work went remote. So, this year’s list is even more important as it reveals organizations that continue to enrich the lives of its employees amid a pandemic.”
