Compensation transparency
Understand the role before you rely on a capital recommendation.
lendDEFY is compensated through origination, referral, and capital provider fees.
lendDEFY is not represented as a lender and does not make a commitment to lend unless a specific written communication states otherwise. Public information is educational and a starting point for a business-purpose capital conversation. Availability, documentation, underwriting, collateral review, pricing, and final decisions vary by transaction and capital provider.
02
Transaction-specific disclosures
If a transaction proceeds, relevant parties should review the actual fee, compensation, referral, disclosure, service, and provider documents that apply to that transaction. The form and timing of any disclosure can depend on the role, product, jurisdiction, contract, and applicable law.
03
Questions before you proceed
Ask who is acting in which role, whether a fee or other compensation may be payable, who pays it, when it is due, whether it changes the economics, and what written documentation governs. Review the documents with qualified advisers when appropriate.
Next step
Keep a capital request clear and secure.
Start a profile only when the business purpose and core opportunity details are ready. The profile is not an approval or a hard credit inquiry.

FAQ answer summary
Plain-language answers
Does a product page state the final fee, rate, commission, or total cost of financing?
No. Product pages are educational and do not state a final fee, rate, commission, total cost, or transaction-specific compensation arrangement. Those items require the applicable written documents, provider review, and disclosures for the actual transaction.
How does lendDEFY say it may be compensated?
lendDEFY states that it is compensated through origination, referral, and capital provider fees. The specific compensation, who pays it, when it is due, and what disclosures apply can vary by transaction. Ask the relevant party to identify the role and provide the applicable written documents before proceeding.
Does compensation information change the no-hard-inquiry policy?
No. lendDEFY does not initiate a hard credit inquiry from the public site, initial capital profile, or website application. A separate capital provider may later request credit information through its own process, subject to its own required consent and disclosures.
