What borrowers ask first.
What loan types does CX Lending place?
CX Lending places SBA 7(a) and 504 loans (via our origination partner Lords of Lending), commercial real estate debt (permanent, bridge, construction), and film-finance instruments (senior, gap, P&A, tax-credit monetization). Private credit and equipment desks are in formation.

How long does closing take?
SBA 7(a): 45–75 days from complete package. SBA 504: 60–90 days. CRE permanent: 30–60 days. CRE bridge: 21–45 days. Film finance: 30–60 days.
Do you work with brokers?
Yes. Broker commissions are protected and documented in writing before submission. Sign up through the Lords of Lending broker portal at lordsoflending.com/brokers — we place deals through our bank network and the broker stays in the relationship.
Is CX Lending a lender or a broker?
CX Lending is a specialty-capital platform. We originate, package, and place across an established lender network. Selective LP check-writing sits alongside the lending book for qualifying opportunities.
