New Kiddie Academy Franchisees Secure Start-Up SBA Loan via BoeFly

FEASTERVILLE, Pa. - July 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Scott and Maria Littig recently secured financing for a new Kiddie Academy location in Feasterville, PA, through a connection made via BoeFly, the online marketplace for small business lending. BoeFly’s proprietary technology matched the Littigs with six potential lenders including Larry Frank, Sr. Vice President of Conestoga Bank, who ultimately helped the Littigs secure an SBA 7(a) loan.

“At Conestoga Bank, we love working with smart and ambitious franchisees like Scott and Maria,” said Frank. “BoeFly’s loan exchange platform enables us to efficiently connect with and fund talented small business owners like Scott and Maria.”

The Littigs recognized the potential difficulty of obtaining financing for a start-up business and thus turned to BoeFly to ensure the greatest likelihood of securing a loan. With an SBA 7(a) loan secured quickly with Conestoga Bank, Scott and Maria gained valuable time they could devote to development and management of the new Kiddie Academy business.

“BoeFly experts put us in contact with Larry Frank at Conestoga Bank who actually wanted to help us start our business,” said Maria. “We knew we wanted to open a Kiddie Academy but were concerned about the prospect of securing reasonable bank financing. The idea of filling out multiple forms and tracking all of the responses and quotes felt like it would be a huge level of effort. But BoeFly made the process painless and, more importantly, effective!”

Kiddie Academy has arranged for various levels of BoeFly’s loan packaging services to be provided to all prospective franchisees at a discount. BoeFly’s proprietary technology then matches these prospective franchisees with lenders based on lender loan package and credit preferences. Kiddie Academy provides prospective franchisees with BoeFly as a financing resource because BoeFly reduces the time, cost, and frustration associated with small business lending. By using BoeFly, Kiddie Academy franchisees can post a single, bank-ready financing request on BoeFly’s online marketplace that will reach potential lenders throughout the country who may be interested in financing the deal.

“BoeFly offers a service to our new and existing franchisees that benefits everyone: franchisees, lenders, and us, the franchisor,” said Susan Wise, Chief Financial Officer of Kiddie Academy. “The ability to quickly match franchisees with an ideal lender, like Conestoga Bank, allows more time for franchisees to focus on representing Kiddie Academy and providing high quality educational childcare to clients.”

“The process of going bank to bank to look for financing is antiquated and inefficient,” said Mike Rozman, CEO of BoeFly. “Furthermore, by limiting yourself to local lenders you may decrease your chances of getting financing or getting financing at the best rates and terms. It is always encouraging to see small business owners take advantage of more efficient solutions to seeking financing in today’s tight small business loan market. BoeFly has helped Maria and Scott and thousands of other entrepreneurs efficiently secure financing to start or grow their businesses, and we look forward to continuing to work with reputable franchisors like Kiddie Academy to help drive small business growth in America.”
