Multi-Unit Dunkin’ Donuts Franchisee Secures $1.2 Million Refinancing Loan

June 11, 2012 - PRLog -- New York, NY – BoeFly, the premier online marketplace connecting small business borrowers with lenders and a strategic ally of the International Franchise Association to expand credit access within the franchise community, announced today that a multi-unit Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee with locations in New Jersey and Florida seeking a loan to refinance business debt secured a $1.2 million credit through a connection made by BoeFly.

The franchisee retained Reliance Capital Advisors (RCA), a business and commercial credit consulting firm in Iselin, N.J., to assist in obtaining his refinancing need. RCA worked with the franchisee to create a complete credit package on BoeFly, which was then matched to 12 of BoeFly’s more than 2,200 lenders nationwide, who requested access to the full loan package.

"BoeFly's platform allows me to present my clients' deals in an effective manner to a broad and interested audience of lenders," said RCA. “The fact that 12 lenders requested access to the Dunkin’ Donuts loan package gave my client a range of financing possibilities in a fast and easy way.”

RCA and the franchisee were connected with Lex Lane, Vice President and Business Development Officer in Portland, Ore. for United Capital Business Lending, a national franchise lender out of Hunt Valley, Md.

“As a long-time user of BoeFly’s service, I can attest to its efficiency in helping me source qualified borrowers, even if they are located across the country,” Lane said. “I would never have known about this deal otherwise, and I will continue to look out for similar lending opportunities for franchise businesses.”

“Small business owners, including franchisees, and their loan advisors can benefit in many ways from using BoeFly,” said Mike Rozman, Co-president of BoeFly. “As demonstrated by this successful Dunkin’ Donuts deal, it is simply the fastest and easiest way to connect with multiple banks for a business loan.”

About BoeFly

BoeFly makes it easier to obtain small business loans by reducing the time, cost, complexity, inefficiency and frustration associated with small business lending.  Its online proprietary matching technology connects small business borrowers with multiple lenders from among its over 2,200 participating banks, based on the lending profiles provided by the banks and the information provided in the borrower’s loan request.

Borrowers build a complete decision-ready loan request online using BoeFly’s exclusive “SmartForm” technology. When completed, this provides the information that over 2,200 lenders nationwide indicated to BoeFly they want to see before moving forward with a loan request. The SmartForm is easy to use and guides borrowers through the process. Once BoeFly’s matching technology identifies compatible lenders, borrowers then have complete control over which lenders can instantly access their loan request. Using BoeFly, borrowers can connect with multiple lenders quickly and easily, providing a greater probability of obtaining a loan, as well as more favorable loan terms resulting from the creation of a competitive marketplace.   Lenders benefit by being presented with only those loan requests that fit their lending profile, dramatically lowering their cost and time of origination. BoeFly is not a broker. Borrowers pay a small one-time fee and lenders pay an ongoing subscription fee; BoeFly never charges transaction or referral fees.
