Small Business Funding Expands to the West Coast

When it comes to small business funding we think of the big companies and how they are all located on the east coast. Benetrends for example has its head office in Philadelphia.  One might say it is located there because that is where the majority of the population lives, on the east coast.

The East Coast hasn’t always been home to Benetrends. In 1983, when Leonard Fischer first founded the company, Benetrends was based in California.  So when it came time to expand, opening an office in California was a natural fit.

"As our business continues to grow, we recognized that to provide better service to our clients and partners in the western part of the country, we needed to increase our presence on the west coast," said Leonard Fischer, CEO and Founder of Benetrends. We saw a need to be closer to our clients and an opportunity to expand our business."

"This is a momentous move for Benetrends and I'm looking forward to bringing our innovative funding solutions directly to a west coast clientele," said Steve Stovall, VP of Business Development.

"Now more than ever, small business owners need proven, sound sources of funding," said Gary Belford, account executive at the new California office. "I'm looking forward to showing west coast entrepreneurs how Benetrends is their perfect partner for success."

As one entrepreneur has told us, “Benetrends showed me how to finance my business, without going into debt. It's one of the best decisions I made.”

As the nation’s leader in retirement plan solutions and funding for small business, we are thrilled to be expanding to provide our services to our clients and partners on the west coast.
