Walt Levengood is the COO of SmallBusinessLoans, where he focuses on making access to business financing and resources simpler, faster, and more transparent.

“Why go on a long, complicated search for business financing and services when the right solutions can find you? That’s the advantage of using SBL,” says Walt.

At SmallBusinessLoans, Walt helps connect business owners with financing and service providers that are a strong fit for their specific needs. Through a quick, one-stop experience, owners are matched with partners that are likely to support their business profile and deliver customized options — whether they’re seeking a small boost of funds, significant growth capital, or other services like insurance and business checking.

Prior to joining SmallBusinessLoans, Walt held leadership positions at top fintechs. As Vice President of Strategy and Revenue at Nav Technologies, he drove the design and execution of Nav’s Embedded Finance program, which provided consumer access to its lending and credit card marketplace. He was the executive sponsor of Nav’s SMB Neo Bank and enhanced business services partnerships with Clover, Gusto, and Coterie Insurance.

At Bizfi, Walt served as Chief Strategy Officer, building balance sheet originations surpassing $30 million per month and brokering $25 million in off-balance-sheet revenues. He also has previous experience as an executive with Bancorp Bank and has been an advisor to several successful fintechs.

Walt brings together deep lending experience and a collaborative mindset — helping small business owners find smarter financing and service solutions while enabling partners to reach the right customers with confidence and efficiency.
