Full bioThe story so far
Levr started in 2021, founded by people who had spent years in commercial lending at RBC, CIBC and BDC and watched good business loans stall on paperwork. The team launched Canada's first AI powered loan marketplace in 2023, then rebuilt the platform around the brokers and lenders who move business loans every day. BusinessLoanBroker.ai opens that same platform directly to business owners.
How we operate
See the whole problem, take responsibility and carry the work through.
Ask better questions, test ideas and learn quickly from what works and what does not.
Say the clear thing respectfully, because trust grows when people know where they stand.
Make work that helps business owners, and the brokers and lenders who serve them, move forward.
What is BusinessLoanBroker.ai?
BusinessLoanBroker.ai is a business only loan application. You fill in one application, upload your documents once, and it reaches lenders across every category of business financing: SBA, term loans, lines of credit, equipment, invoice factoring, cash advances, revenue based financing, commercial real estate and more. Offers come back to the same place so you can compare them side by side.
It is not a lender and it does not make credit decisions. It is the application and matching layer between your business and the lenders, and it runs on Levr, the same platform professional brokers use to place loans. Read how it works for the step by step version, or check what you need to apply before you start.
Who is behind it?
BusinessLoanBroker.ai is built and operated by the team behind Levr, the platform business loan brokers and lenders use to take applications, package files and place deals. The same team launched Canada's first AI powered loan marketplace in 2023 and has since worked on more than 5,000 business loans across the US and Canada.
That history matters for one reason: the application you fill in here is the same one thousands of brokers have used to get businesses funded. The document parsing, lender matching and readiness checks were built for professionals first, then opened directly to owners. Levr Technologies USA Inc. operates the service in the United States and Levr Technologies Inc. operates it in Canada.
How is it different?
Four things set it apart. First, you apply once. One application and one set of documents reach every matching lender, instead of filling in the same form on ten lender sites and taking ten credit pulls. Second, there is a lender in every category, so you are not pushed toward whichever product one company happens to sell. Third, it is free for the business, with no application, processing or upfront fees of any kind.
Fourth, your AI assistant can do the whole thing. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or any assistant that supports MCP to our MCP server, share your documents, and it can parse your financials, fill the application, check readiness, match lenders and submit with your approval. Offers come back into the same place. Our agents hub explains how.

Apply nowWho is it for, and not for?
It is for businesses in the United States and Canada that need capital and want one honest place to apply: owners, finance leads and the people who run the books. It works for a two month old startup looking at its real options and for a ten year old company refinancing debt, and the site tells you plainly when a product is not a fit for your situation.
It is not for personal loans, and we do not take them. It is not for brokers either. If you are a broker or a lender, the platform you want is Levr itself, which is free for brokers and built for placing other people's deals. Our page for brokers points you to the right door.
How do we make money?
Lenders pay us when a loan funds, and we are paid the same whichever lender you choose, so we have no reason to steer you toward one over another. Your business never pays us anything. We do not sell your application as a lead and we never charge application or processing fees. The full explanation is on how we make money.
Where are we?
Levr Technologies USA Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, and operates BusinessLoanBroker.ai in the United States. Levr Technologies Inc. is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and operates it in Canada. Support is by email, and the fastest way to reach us is on the contact page.
We built this site because business owners kept arriving at Levr wanting full support with their financing, not a bare application form. BusinessLoanBroker.ai is our answer: the professional application, opened directly to the business, with your AI assistant able to carry it if you would rather not.
