Coverage
What about the smaller companies?
Beyond the featured chains, 1,529 smaller companies operate roughly 2,364 more storefronts — mostly single-location independents. Every one of them appears in the storefront table of its city guide, where local rules are explained next to the local stores; chains graduate to this page when their footprint earns a dedicated guide.
Listing data comes from a public business-directory snapshot collected 2022-02-20. Stores close and relocate; a listing is not proof of licensing. Verify any lender through your state regulator before borrowing — see our editorial policy for sources and corrections. Lenders that operate entirely online follow a different rulebook — see our online lenders directory.
LendMap USA is a directory, not a lender: we publish state law and public location data, and nothing here is an offer of credit or legal advice.
