Jamba Juice is also making BoeFly’s loan marketplace available to new and existing franchisees alike to make financing more efficient and competitive. The brand offers BoeFly’s Full Service financing support in which franchisees are matched with a dedicated financing expert to guide them through the process of creating a thorough bank-ready financing request and connecting with the right lenders from BoeFly’s marketplace.

“Our engagement with BoeFly signals our continued progress toward implementing initiatives that accelerate our move to a predominantly franchise system,” stated Karen Luey, executive vice president and CFO, Jamba, Inc. “The ability to provide financing alternatives from banks and lenders with our pipeline of franchisees will further accelerate our growth and development.
