The people
building Aloan.

We're engineers and operators building software for commercial lenders. We started Aloan to make the work of preparing a loan file easier.

Why we started

A lot of lending still happens by hand.

Before a lender can review a commercial loan, someone has to collect the borrower's documents, pull the numbers into a spread, and assemble the credit memo. That work takes time, especially when a file involves several businesses and guarantors.

We built Aloan to handle that preparation, with figures linked to their source documents so underwriters can check the work. We work directly with lending teams to configure their credit policies, memo formats, and connections to existing systems.
