BoeFly To Host Workshop Session at ASBDC Annual Conference in New Orleans

Sept. 11, 2012 - PRLog -- New York, NY – BoeFly, the premier online marketplace connecting small business borrowers with lenders, announced today that Co-President David Nayor will host a session about the usage of BoeFly’s platform during the Association of Small Business Development Centers (ASBDC) annual conference on September 12th. The conference will take place at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside in New Orleans, La. from September 11th to 14th. Nayor’s session will take place Wednesday from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. in the Rosedown Meeting Room.

In addition to discussing how SBDCs can leverage BoeFly’s online marketplace to help their small business clients connect efficiently with a network of over 2,200 lenders nationwide, Nayor will address the small business lending environment and elaborate on best practices for securing a bank loan in today’s tight credit market.

“The ASBDC has been a strong force in addressing the core issue inhibiting small business growth and job creation: efficient access to financing,” said Nayor. “We created BoeFly for that same reason:  to address the vast inefficiencies we saw in the traditional process of small business owners going from bank to bank in search of a loan. We knew there had to be a faster, easier and better way for borrowers to access the capital they need, and I look forward to hosting a session at the ASBDC conference to show SBDC counselors how they can leverage technology such as the BoeFly platform to help their clients save time and secure loans under the best possible terms.”

America’s Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) are a nationwide network operating over 1,000 centers. The SBDC Network is dedicated to providing the consulting and technical assistance business owners need to make their dreams a reality. The annual conference will bring together over 1,400 SBDC professionals, trainers, consultants, management and administrative personnel, offering top-quality workshops, roundtables, general sessions, working luncheons and an Exhibit Hall.


About BoeFly

BoeFly makes it easier to obtain small business loans (http://www.boefly.com/) 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 which, when completed, 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.
