Types of Lenders

A-Lenders (Prime)

B-Lenders (Alternative)

These are traditional financial institutions like major banks and credit unions. They offer the lowest interest rates and are strict with their lending criteria, typically serving borrowers with good credit scores, stable income, and a strong financial history.

B-Lenders (Alternative)

These lenders are usually smaller banks or financial institutions that offer more flexible lending criteria than A lenders. They cater to borrowers who may not qualify with prime lenders due to reasons like lower credit scores, non-traditional income sources, or self-employment. Interest rates are slightly higher than A lenders.

C-Lenders (Private)

B-Lenders (Alternative)

C-Lenders (Private)

Private lenders are individuals or groups who lend their own money and are the most flexible with lending criteria. They are often used as a last resort for borrowers who cannot secure financing through A or B lenders, usually due to poor credit or unusual financial situations. These loans typically have the highest interest rates and may include additional fees.
