“I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation and gratitude to your experienced, responsive and humanly friendly staff. It has been just over couple of months when I started dealing with your organization. I was referred to you by the franchise company (UFG) I am dealing with. I was first in contact with Kathy Sergio. She clearly explained the services offered and highlighted the features and benefits of dealing with Benetrends. I was approached after subscribing to the service, by Ellen Darlington to start the process and explain the steps needed throughout the service. Ellen was in contact with me on a frequent bases to keep me updated with the status and progress of the plan. She demonstrated a great level of professionalism and the best example of how a client service adviser should operate. She did not become just my service representative but more importantly, a partner who is teaming with me to address all the concerns I have with the service. Ellen was so punctual in touching base with me on a regular bases. Also, Brittney Militello, my Retirement Plan Analyst, was involved with me from early stages. She documented all needed information and represented the completed forms back for my reference. Brittney provided answers to all my concerns and requirements in a very short time. All in all, I have to say, I am so impressed and pleased with the service received thus far. I wish the staff and the whole organization continuous success as a leader in this industry. ”

“My wife and I approached several banks in our area looking for SBA funding to help us start a franchise. We had little luck until we began working with BeneTrends. The team at BeneTrends helped us with our application and put us in connection with several lenders, ultimately helping us secure the financing we needed to start our business. Many thanks to BeneTrends and the team that we worked with in helping us secure our SBA loan.”

“Owning and operating a Speedpro Imaging store seemed to be a natural fit for Deborah and me, and when we were ready to move forward with buying the business, we wanted to take an efficient approach to get the financing we needed. We went with David Grams from Benetrends, who used BoeFly's technology to secure our loan in an environment where banks are able to compete.”

“Once Lynn and I were ready to move forward with opening our Servpro franchise, we knew we needed to take the simplest approach possible toward securing the financing to acquire the business, that’s why we chose to work with David Grams from Benetrends, who used BoeFly's technology to connect us with a lender that is a perfect fit for our financing needs.”

“Benetrends has been at the forefront of funding franchise businesses for 30 years by providing Financing, Health and Business Insurance to help grow some of America's most recognized and emerging brands.”

Fortunately, BoeFly has helped many clients efficiently secure financing to start up or grow their businesses, and we look forward to continuing to work with reputable consultants such as David Grams to help drive small business growth and create new jobs.”

“When I started out in seeking the financing I needed, I wanted my search to be as efficient as possible, and that is why I chose to work with David Grams at Benetrends. I am very pleased to know that he used BoeFly's technology to secure my loan in an environment where banks are able to compete.”

It's Benetrends that helps make that dream a reality by providing a variety of funding options. Their financial expertise has contributed to our brand's continued growth."”

“I choose the rollover funding because it is approved by the IRS (Len showed me the IRS approval letter!) and was the only way available for me to buy Flow Components. Without the rollover, I wouldn't have been able to do it! I can't speak enough of Len- he is competent and delivered on everything he said he would and is always available to answer my questions. ”

“We had a dream of owning our own business, but where do we find the money? Fortunately, Hand and Stone referred us to Benetrends. They talked to us in layman's terms, and based on our financial situation, recommended 401(k)/IRA Rollover Funding, allowing us to use our retirement savings to fund the business, tax deferred and penalty free. They guided us through the process every step of the way. We were able to get the funds needed to satisfy the SBA requirements for a loan and additional working capital. In the future, when we start the process for spa number two, we will contact Benetrends.”

“With our rapid growth over the past two years, Hand and Stone needed a one-stop shop funding source that brings urgency and certainty to the process. That’s why we have used Benetrends to help fund our franchisees. When we endorse a partner it is our company’s credibility that is immediately put on the line – we are very careful in whom we select and we feel completely confident in referring our franchisees to Benetrends.”

“Nothing is scarier to shop for than insurance. With limited knowledge and no direction, I was trying to help my 27 year old son obtain health insurance as his company does not offer it as a benefit. We had become frustrated with the process after calling several carriers and not receiving follow up calls or pricing. We had almost given up hope of finding help with the process and then we saw the Benetrends’ portal tool. We thought we would try it as a last ditch effort in the process. This was the best move that we could have made. It took under 15 minutes to compare and contrast affordable, comprehensive plans. My son was able to secure excellent health coverage along with dental coverage for $116/month and this was with a major carrier! We followed the process on-line, completing the application on a Thursday and by Monday we had confirmation of coverage! What a surprisingly easy process. I highly recommend it and will share my experience with any one who has any insurance needs going forward! ”
