BoeFly hosted a webinar on Tuesday to discuss the SBA's recent rule change.

Franchise Times, however, says that the concern may be for naught, given that the changes include best practices most franchisors are already doing.

BoeFly, a national online marketplace that helps business owners seeking loans by connecting them with banks and lenders, held a webinar on Tuesday with a panel of franchisors and lenders to discuss the rule change.
