Founded in 2015 by Everett K. Sands and based in Brea, California, Lendistry uses proprietary technology to provide financing and administer grants for small businesses. The firm partners with state and federal authorities to reach entrepreneurs who face traditional barriers to growth capital. Lendistry has distributed over $10.5 billion to date across its programs. Its current plans include expanding an Airport Concessions Program that provides growth capital to independent eateries, convenience stores, and other small enterprises operating in airport terminals. The company obtained a $100 million credit facility from East West Bank in July 2026 to fund that expansion. As of the announcement, East West Bank was the sole provider of the facility.
