SMB Lending
Make small business lending profitable at any ticket size.
Kaaj automates the work between application received and credit decision: document intake, KYB, cash flow analysis, fraud checks, financial spreading, policy review, and credit memo generation.
The Challenge
SMB lending is operationally expensive at any ticket size.
Every small business deal requires human judgment across messy documents, inconsistent bank data, and fragmented verification sources. Manual underwriting doesn't scale. Hiring more analysts erodes the economics of small-ticket credit.

Bank statement analysis
Classify revenue, transfers, NSFs, overdrafts, MCA payments, and cash flow trends across 3, 6, or 12 months.
Fraud and anomaly detection
Flag tampered documents, mismatched names, duplicate applications, and suspicious business signals before analysis begins.

SMB Lending FAQ
What is the best automated underwriting software for small business loans?
If your CRM or LOS works but underwriting is still manual, an underwriting layer such as Kaaj automates intake, verification, bank statements, financials, fraud checks, and the memo in 5–7 minutes per typical package. If you are replacing your system of record, compare loan origination platforms.
How can small business lenders make low-ticket deals profitable?
By cutting the fixed work per file. A small deal still needs intake, verification, cash-flow review, and fraud checks; automating them and applying lighter rules to small tickets keeps review cost in line with deal size.
Can Kaaj work with our Salesforce or HubSpot setup?
Yes. Kaaj writes structured deal data, verification results, analysis, and the memo into Salesforce, HubSpot, LeasePath, or your LOS, and deals can be triggered from the CRM.
How does Kaaj help lenders scale without hiring more underwriters?
Underwriters review verified analysis and exceptions instead of assembling files, so the same team can handle more applications while applying the same rules to every deal.
Which small business lenders is Kaaj built for?
Equipment finance companies, MCA and working-capital funders, brokers, community banks, credit unions, and fintech lenders whose deals arrive as document packages rather than clean data.
