BeneTrends, Inc., the nation’s premier provider of small business retirement plans and business financing utilizing retirement plans, is pleased to announce a strategic alliance with FranEquity, a web-based service designed to assist under-financed franchise candidates in accessing alternative sources of capital. Using FranEquity’s website, potential franchise owners can connect with other franchise candidates, angel investors, multi-unit franchise operators, financing facilitators and debt lenders to explore mutual interests in financing franchises. Through this alliance, BeneTrends stands ready to connect with and assist new entrepreneurs in maximizing their retirement plans as an alternate source of business capital on the FranEquity Platform.
BeneTrends will be the exclusive provider of retirement-plan-based financing for FranEquity Members. “Our alliance with FranEquity lines up with our vision to provide a way for people to achieve their dreams of business ownership, creating both jobs and prosperity,” says Mark Nelson, President of BeneTrends. “All too often, qualified candidates are unable to obtain the financing they need to purchase franchises. The FranEquity platform gives these people access to various financing options along with the ability to connect with others interested in partnering in a new business.”
