“I WANT A LENDER THAT GETS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A BUSINESS OWNER”
It’s about
damn time
Big banks focus on big businesses. But small businesses? They’ve been overlooked—until now.

We created MintFi to support the evolving needs of business owners—the dedicated, driven individuals who power our economy. From skipping lunches to working late nights, you do what it takes. You deserve a financial partner who does the same.

We built the ultimate lending platform while maintaining the human touch. All business. No BS.

Mint was founded in 2010 with a clear mission: to simplify and humanize the lending experience for business owners. From day one, our goal has been to offer more than just capital—we provide clarity, strategy, and partnership.
Our Founder and President, Felipe Catano, brings over 20 years of experience in the finance industry. A proud husband and father of two, Felipe is a true advocate for entrepreneurship. He has built his career around one core principle: every business deserves a thoughtful, customized approach to financing. Early in his career, Felipe recognized a lack of transparency and true guidance in the business lending space. That realization became the driving force behind Mint’s consultative, client-first model.
What sets Mint apart is our commitment to listening. We take the time to understand each client’s unique goals, challenges, and opportunities. That’s why we built a team of seasoned finance professionals—people who are not only experts in funding but also passionate problem-solvers. Together, we guide business owners through each phase of their growth, whether it’s launching a new venture, expanding operations, or maintaining healthy cash flow.
Over the past decade, we’ve proudly helped fund over $500 million for America’s small and mid-sized businesses. Through strategic partnerships and a relentless focus on results, we continue to evolve—offering innovative, tailored financial solutions that adapt to our clients’ ever-changing needs.
At Mint, we believe financing should feel less like a transaction and more like a trusted relationship. We’re honored to serve business owners across the country and look forward to being part of your journey for years to come.
