On the heels of its $350 million capital pledge to American small businesses, Guidant Financial announced an exclusive partnership with BoeFly.com, an online marketplace for small business loans. The two companies will introduce Guidant’s Funding Assurance program at the International Franchise Association’s Annual Convention in Las Vegas.

Guidant Financial helps franchisees and entrepreneurs access capital – via rollovers as business start-ups, SBA loans, unsecured loans and portfolio loans, among others – to help individuals acquire and initially grow businesses.

Last week, the company announced a partnership with MultiFunding, which adds financing solutions for recapitalizing existing businesses and accessing crisis capital. The BoeFly partnership further enhances the offering by adding exclusive benefits of its lending marketplace and unlimited use of its bQual business loan prequalification and financial education report for franchise systems and entrepreneurs who partner with Guidant. The two will also collaborate to create program relationships for growing franchise systems.

“We know that deploying $350 million in 2015 is ambitious. The Guidant Funding Assurance program – which we’re launching in combination with BoeFly – will move us that much closer to this goal,” said David Nilssen, CEO of Guidant Financial.

To date, Guidant Financial has helped 10,000 entrepreneurs in all 50 states to deploy nearly $3 billion in funding to start or acquire a small business or franchise. Similarly, BoeFly has supported more than $4 billion in transaction volume on its online marketplace.
