Having facilitated over $200 million in small business loan originations, LendingTree will be awarding a $50,000 grant to a deserving small business
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Small business owners face a long list of challenges, and for many, the obstacle of securing financial resources needed to grow a business claims the top spot on the list. That's the driving force behind LendingTree's inaugural $50,000 Small Business Grant Contest, where LendingTree will present the winning small business a $50,000 grant to help fund future growth.
"Since LendingTree launched its small business loan marketplace, LendingTree has been committed to helping small businesses thrive by simplifying the loan shopping process and matching the right businesses with right lenders to meet their financial needs," said Doug Lebda, founder and CEO of LendingTree.
