In 2010, Paul Bosley became a volunteer for SCORE and as a result Paul learned the SBA 7(a), 504 and Express loan process.
In 2015, we launched Business Finance Depot because we were selected by United Franchise Group to provide financing to all of their franchise brands.
BFD developed our unique SBA loan process (please click here to download your copy) to serve a growing number franchisors to provide financing to their new franchisees.
One of the new franchisees, Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Parks selected our company as their financing source and introduced us to the Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) which selected our company as the finance instructor for their National School.
The rest is history!
