NEW YORK – Coverdash, the fastest growing startup and SMB-focused insurtech broker, and LendingTree, the nation’s leading online financial marketplace, today announced a partnership to provide LendingTree customers with access to business insurance for the very first time. This strategic collaboration expands LendingTree’s suite of financial products for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), providing them with an efficient and streamlined way to obtain business insurance and fulfill financial requirements. Coverdash’s fully embedded insurance offering provides business insurance to LendingTree customers without ever having to leave the platform. This partnership marks an important step in LendingTree’s evolution by expanding its services for small businesses beyond loans and financial products to now include comprehensive insurance solutions. A study by the Federal Reserve Bank found that businesses that demonstrated lower risk profiles – which includes carrying insurance – were 25% more likely to be approved for loans compared to higher-risk businesses. By integrating Coverdash’s business insurance offering, LendingTree not only enhances its own platform but also empowers small businesses to reduce their risk profile, increasing their chances of securing a loan and supporting their long-term growth. “LendingTree’s legacy in financial services is unmatched, and we’re incredibly proud to have our embedded experience power their expansion into business insurance,” said Ralph Betesh, Co-Founder and CEO of Coverdash. “Meeting financial requirements while starting a business is complex – our partnership lets business owners easily access trusted resources in one place at every stage of their company’s life cycle.” The integration removes traditional barriers to acquiring business insurance and simplifies the process for business owners, helping them manage risk and protect their operations. Coverdash’s embedded technology enables SMBs to access instant quotes from the nation’s most recognized carriers, allowing them to compare and purchase policies that meet their specific needs. These coverage options include General Liability, Workers' Compensation, Business Owners Policy, Cyber Insurance and more. Coverdash empowers partners like LendingTree to increase customer engagement, boost revenue, and reduce customer acquisition costs by offering business insurance as an additional product. “We’ve always played an integral role in helping small businesses get off the ground with our loans and financing programs, so offering business insurance was the natural next step,” said Jenn Ash, General Manager, Small Business & Student Loans at LendingTree. “This partnership with Coverdash deepens our commitment to supporting our customers' growth, reinforcing our position as their trusted, long-term partner for all of their financial services needs." Coverdash and LendingTree are on a dedicated mission to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed by simplifying financial solutions. Together, they are not only providing an innovative and frictionless experience for securing essential coverage but also empowering small business owners to focus on what they do best – growing their businesses with confidence.

We’re excited to announce Coverdash’s partnership with Celtic Bank, one of the top SBA lenders in the nation. Celtic Bank offers a full catalog of financial services for small businesses, from asset-based lending to expansions and acquisitions. Our embedded insurance capabilities provide Celtic Bank’s clients the necessary insurance solutions required for loan financing directly through Celtic Bank’s portal.  SBA loans are business loans partially backed by the US Small Business Administration, provided by participating lenders like Celtic Bank. These loans are generally attractive due to their affordability (capped interest rates) with more favorable terms like longer repayment periods and lower credit score requirements compared to other business loans. However, the long application process and strict lending requirements, including proper business insurance, sometimes prevents business owners from taking advantage of these loans.  The SBA requires specific business insurance coverage depending on the loan and type of business. While these requirements may vary, some common policies that the SBA may ask for include:  * Workers Compensation * General Liability  * Professional Liability  * Property Insurance  With Coverdash, fulfilling these insurance requirements becomes seamless. Users can instantly compare accurately tailored quotes from over 30 of the nation’s largest carriers, purchase the best policy to instantly fulfill coverage requirements, and improve SBA loan prospects without ever needing to leave Celtic Bank’s site. By abstracting the need to contact a broker or carrier with the ability to buy necessary insurance on the spot, Coverdash drastically reduces loan application times for users.  Coverdash has partnered with dozens of lenders and funding platforms that require business insurance to streamline the loan issuance process. Decreasing time to close by an average of 45% and as much as 65%, Coverdash’s embedded insurance solution has helped increase overall loan issuance by 10% to 15% for lending partners.  Our partnership with Celtic Bank simplifies the insurance process, accelerating loan issuance and getting businesses access to funds faster.
