Need a loan? Google has a deal for you.

Through the program, the company’s Google for Work partners would gain access to funds by way of the Lending Club platform. Google for Work consists of a network of 10,000 developers, resellers, consultants, and systems integrators who help create and distribute Google apps and work products.
The loans could be as low as 5.5 percent annually, according to a Lending Club spokeswoman, and they’re capped at $600,000—an amount that’s much higher than Lending Club’s average loan of $35,000.
