Who We Are
Teplani LLC was founded on a simple belief: that business owners who work hard and build real enterprises deserve access to capital — without the bureaucratic maze of traditional banking. We are a direct lender, headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, serving businesses across the five boroughs and beyond.
Our founder Betim Teplani brought to this company the same values that define the Brooklyn entrepreneurial spirit: reliability, directness, and a commitment to the people in your community. The Albanian concept of "besa" — a sacred pledge, a bond that cannot be broken — is at the heart of how we operate. When we make a commitment to a business owner, we keep it.
We don't believe in the runaround. We don't believe in hidden fees or fine print that obscures the real cost of capital. What you see is what you get, and what you get is a funding partner who takes your success personally.
Over the years, we've deployed millions of dollars into businesses across industries — from restaurants and retail to construction, healthcare, and professional services. Each funding decision is made by our team, in-house, with direct knowledge of the business and the owner. That's what it means to be a direct lender.
Brooklyn-based entrepreneur and financial services professional with over 15 years of experience in business lending and community finance. Founded Teplani LLC to provide transparent, direct capital access to the businesses that drive New York's economy.
