Common Questions
Frequently asked
by lenders.
Who can join the Synzova lender network?
Direct, balance-sheet lenders providing commercial financing to U.S. businesses — including commercial banks, regional banks, private credit funds, BDCs, specialty finance companies, family offices, mezzanine funds, and SBA/USDA authorized lenders. Lenders must offer commercial facilities of $1M or more.
What types of deals will I see?
Only deals that match your specific lending mandate. Synzova covers ABL, C&I revolvers, term loans, acquisition finance, CRE bridge and construction, private credit, fund finance, factoring, SBA 7(a) and 504, USDA, and specialty structures. You set the filters — your dashboard only shows deals that match them.
How many lenders compete for each deal?
Synzova's matching ensures only a small cohort of lenders with genuine mandate alignment receive each deal. You are not competing with hundreds of lenders — only those with similar mandates and high match scores. Borrowers also see your rank relative to other matched lenders, which creates natural quality signaling.
Is my mandate data kept confidential?
Yes. Your lending mandate is used only for matching. It is never disclosed to borrowers, other lenders, or third parties. Borrowers see only that you are a matched lender, your institution type, and a general description of your mandate — no specific terms or criteria are ever revealed.
What happens after I express interest in a deal?
You request an introduction through your dashboard. Synzova notifies the borrower and facilitates the introduction with both parties' contact details. From that point, you communicate directly with the borrower. There are no intermediaries in the process and no fees tied to the transaction.
We only lend to sponsor-backed companies. Will there be relevant deals?
Yes. Sponsor-backed and PE-backed deals are common in the Synzova pipeline. You can configure your mandate to require or prefer sponsor-backed transactions, and the AI will filter accordingly. Only sponsor-backed deals meeting your other criteria will appear in your dashboard.
