Small Business Development Centers Announce Loan Program. The Association of Small Business Development Centers announced a strategic partnership to create a loan center to seamlessly connect SBDC counselors and their clients with more than 1,000 lenders nationwide.
The new loan center will be powered by BoeFly, which is the most efficient way for an SBDC counselor to seek financing for a small-business owner. Users will access the loan center to build an online bank-ready financing request, which includes the ability to securely store documents online. The client financing requests will be matched with interested lenders based upon lending preferences submitted to BoeFly by its participating banks. “SBDCs provide a vital role for America’s small businesses and the ASBDC has been a force in improving the SBDC network,” said Mike Rozman, president of BoeFly.
