ABOUT
You focus on running your business. We’ll handle the capital.
Lending Grid was built on a simple idea: hardworking businesses deserve a financing partner who understands them.
Founder Brandon Franklin spent years inside the banking world and saw firsthand how many great businesses get overlooked. He launched Lending Grid to change that—helping companies secure the right capital, structured the right way.
A man of faith, a husband, and a father, Brandon’s values shape how we approach every deal—with honesty, respect, and grit.
With over $300 million in closed transactions, we bring deep industry relationships, smart structuring, and hands-on execution to every client we serve.
Why We’re different

We’re former bankers turned brokers—we know how credit really works.
We’re independent—not tied to a single lender or product.
