How borrowers find you

1

They search for lenders like you

A borrower enters their state, industry, loan size, and program. LenderHawk returns every lender who has actually done deals matching those criteria, ranked by real SBA lending data. Your institution appears automatically if you have relevant deal history.

2

They compare you side-by-side

Borrowers select 2-4 lenders and open a side-by-side comparison. To access the full comparison report, they provide their email and phone number. This is where they decide who to call.

What borrowers compare:

Deal count, median spread, average loan size, geographic reach, industry focus, recency of activity. The borrower sees exactly how you stack up against competitors in their specific segment.

3

You get notified

When a borrower compares your institution and requests a report, LenderHawk notifies you. You see who they are, what they are looking for, and which lenders they compared you against. You reach out on your terms, with context no cold call could provide.

What paying lenders receive

Lead notifications

When a qualified borrower compares your institution and submits their contact info, you receive an email with the borrower’s name, email, phone, state, industry, loan size, and which competitors they compared you to.

Comparison context

Every lead includes the full comparison report the borrower received. You know exactly what they saw about your deal count, spread, and positioning relative to the other lenders they considered.

Competitive intelligence

See aggregated data on how often you appear in borrower searches, which segments you are strongest in, and where competitors are winning deals you could be winning.

Profile control

Claim and verify your profile. Add your direct application link, highlight your specializations, and ensure your contact information is accurate. Your public lending record stays transparent. Your enhanced profile adds context.

What non-paying lenders see

Every lender on LenderHawk has a free public profile. If a borrower compares your institution and requests a report, non-paying lenders receive a notification that someone expressed interest, but not the borrower’s contact details.

You receive:

  • “A borrower in [state] compared your institution for a [size] [industry] [program] loan”
  • The segment they searched (state, industry, loan size, program)
  • Borrower name, email, and phone — upgrade to see
  • Full comparison report — upgrade to see

This lets you see that demand exists for your lending services. When you are ready to act on it, upgrade to receive full lead details.
