How a firm gets ranked

One number decides rank: business loans funded in the calendar year, attested by the lenders that funded them. Nothing a firm can buy changes it.

1

Submit

Funded volume and deal count for 2026, by loan type, from your claimed entry. Deals closed through Levr are prefilled.

2

A second signer attests

Each lender confirms the volume it funded through your firm. Owners cannot sign for themselves. The top 20 provide statements.

3

Published with the number

Every ranked firm appears with its attested volume, so anyone can see why it placed where it did.

The lists

One national list and five category lists. A firm can appear on more than one. Minimum to be ranked: $10M funded or 40 deals in the year.

Between editions

Quarterly and monthly recognitions earned on live register data. They can be lost the next quarter, which is what keeps them worth something.

The full method

What honorees receive

A year stamped shield in four versions, an embed that links back to the firm's live entry so a lapsed badge switches itself off, a press release and LinkedIn templates, and a permanent page showing rank and the attested number. All free. Plaques are optional and never affect rank.

  • Badge files in SVG and PNG, light and dark
  • Copy and paste embed with the link back
  • Wording rules and an embargo date, so every announcement lands together

No pay to play

Entry, ranking and the badge kit are free. Lenders may sponsor the event and category pages, and sponsorship never touches the numbers.

We can disqualify

A number that cannot be attested is removed. A firm whose standing changes during the year can lose its place, and the page says so.

Business loans only

Residential and commercial mortgage volume does not count. The lists rank business financing: working capital, equipment, SBA, factoring and term loans.

Submissions open January 12

Claim your entry now so your 2026 deals through Levr are already in the form when it opens. We will email the method and the form the day they go live.

Rankings are based on lender attested funded volume for the prior calendar year.
