Who can enter
- Any business loan brokerage headquartered in the United States or Canada with a claimed entry on the register.
- Entry is free. Ranking is free. The badge kit is free.
- Minimum to be ranked: $10M funded or 40 deals in the calendar year.
- Residential and commercial mortgage volume does not count.
What counts
Business loans funded between January 1 and December 31, 2026, where the firm arranged the deal: working capital, merchant cash advance, equipment, SBA, invoice factoring, term loans, lines of credit, franchise, asset based, startup funding and Canada small business programs.
Volume is the funded amount on the day of funding. Renewals count once, as new money only. Deals a firm referred but did not arrange do not count.
Attestation
- Each lender confirms the volume it funded through the firm. Owners cannot sign for themselves.
- Deals closed through Levr are prefilled and attested by the lender on the platform.
- The top 20 firms on each list provide funding statements for a sample of deals.
- A number that cannot be attested is removed before ranking.
The lists
A firm can appear on more than one list. Category lists rank volume in that category only.
Ties and publication
Where two firms are within one percent of each other, the firm with more attested deals ranks higher. Every ranked firm appears with its attested volume, so anyone can see why it placed where it did.
Disqualification
A firm whose standing changes during the year can lose its place, and the page says so. Sponsors never touch the numbers, and sponsorship is not open to firms on the lists.
