New York, NY &ndash; October 2, 2018 - BoeFly, the premier marketplace for small business borrowers and lenders which has supported franchisees from more than 600 unique brands, announced that Paula and James Bullock, Tropical Smoothie Cafe franchisees, secured an SBA loan through BoeFly to open their first Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

Paula and James, already successful multi-unit franchisees with a hair cutting brand, selected Tropical Smoothie Caf&eacute; as they expand into a new, fast growing sector.&nbsp; When it came to sourcing financing for their start-up franchise, the couple was introduced to BoeFly, which proved to be an excellent resource. Paula and James already had a significant workload in running their existing businesses, so the two greatly valued BoeFly&rsquo;s streamlined workflow and dedicated support throughout the financing process.

&ldquo;Tropical Smoothie Cafe has been extremely supportive as we become franchisees in their system. We found BoeFly through Tropical Smoothie Caf&eacute; and I&rsquo;m so glad we did.&nbsp; My BoeFly dedicated funding specialist was a great help and she made getting a small business loan simple,&rdquo; Paula said. &ldquo;I would recommend BoeFly to any business looking for loan financing.&rdquo;

&nbsp;

&ldquo;Tropical Smoothie strives to support our franchisees throughout the development process and beyond, which I believe has been a central part of our growth over the years,&rdquo; explained Charles Watson, Tropical Smoothie Cafe&rsquo;s Chief Development Officer and Interim CEO. &ldquo;BoeFly has helped Tropical Smoothie Caf&eacute;&rsquo;s development by connecting our franchisees with the expertise that the BoeFly team has to offer. BoeFly&rsquo;s customer service, loan packaging, and marketplace of lenders is unmatched.&rdquo;

&ldquo;At BoeFly, we&rsquo;re thrilled to help business owners like Paula and James secure the financing they need to expand with great brands like Tropical Smoothie Caf&eacute;,&rdquo; BoeFly&rsquo;s CEO Mike Rozman said. &ldquo;The BoeFly team takes pride in helping hard working business owners turn their dreams in to reality.&rdquo;&nbsp;
