How it works

AI agents that target California businesses around the clock

Point an AI agent at California. Choose your industry or go broad. The agent searches web directories, business databases, and local listings across California— finding business owners who need capital and haven't been contacted by your competing brokers. Every contact is verified before delivery.

Agents work continuously. You wake up each morning with a fresh set of California leads in your pipeline, ready to call or add to an outreach sequence.

Why alternative commercial lending works in California

California has over 4 million small businesses — the largest small business ecosystem in the US. The state generates the most commercial lending deal flow of any state. Traditional banks continue to tighten their underwriting criteria — small business loan approval rates at large banks remain below 15%. That leaves the vast majority of California's small business owners looking for alternative sources of capital: merchant cash advances, revenue-based financing, equipment loans, and lines of credit from non-bank lenders.

Commercial lending brokers who operate in California have a structural advantage: they can connect businesses to funding in days, not months. California requires a CFL (Commercial Finance Lender) license for direct lending, but brokering is less regulated. High deal volume makes it one of the most valuable states for brokers. For brokers, that translates to consistent deal flow and strong commission income — provided they can reach business owners before competing brokers do.

JYNI solves the prospecting problem entirely. Instead of manually researching businesses or buying stale lead lists that every other broker already has, you run an AI agent that continuously finds fresh California business owners, verifies their contact information, and delivers them to your pipeline — exclusive to your account.

Top commercial lending verticals in California

Not every industry generates equal deal flow. In California, the following verticals consistently produce the best conversion rates for commercial lending brokers — either because of high capital demand, limited bank access, or recurring working capital needs.

🍽️
restaurants

California restaurant owners are prime MCA candidates — daily credit card receipts make revenue-based financing easy to underwrite and repay.

🏗️
construction

California construction contractors need capital for materials, subcontractors, and equipment before receivables arrive. Draw schedules create natural cash flow gaps.

🌿
landscaping

California landscaping businesses need capital for equipment, crews, and materials at the start of each season. Cash flow is seasonal but predictable.

🚛
trucking

California trucking and freight companies frequently need working capital for fuel, maintenance, and payroll between loads. Equipment financing for trucks is also common.

🛍️
retail

California retailers need capital for inventory, seasonal buildups, and store improvements. High card volume makes MCA a natural fit.

🏥
healthcare

California medical and dental practices use financing for equipment, expansion, and working capital during insurance payment delays.
