A lender shows as a no when the deal misses one of their hard requirements, such as the loan amount exceeding their maximum, too little time in business, revenue below threshold, or an industry or geography they do not serve. If you manually selected a lender who was not a green match, the system lets you submit but the lender can still decline on their own review, so it is best to only submit to lenders showing a qualified match. Ask Levr AI to explain the specific reason a given lender did not fit, and if it is a single fixable factor like time in business, you can revisit that lender later once the client's profile changes.
Why was my deal a no with a lender I selected, or sent to lenders that weren't real matches?
