BoeFly, the leading financial technology company specializing in franchise funding solutions, is proud to spotlight the successful financing of a second Playa Bowls franchise location for owners Hunter and Kelti Haley. Located in Glade Parks, Euless, Texas, the new shop marks an important milestone in the couple’s continued journey as multi-unit franchise owners and underscores the role of BoeFly in supporting franchisees through more complex growth-stage financing.
As the Haleys worked to expand their Playa Bowls footprint, they faced the added challenge of securing a Small Business Administration (SBA) startup loan for a second location while their first shop was still in development. With guidance from the BoeFly team, they were able to navigate the lending process efficiently and move forward with confidence.
“BoeFly was an excellent partner in the process of finding the right lender to fund our second Playa Bowls franchise start-up located in Glade Parks, Euless, Texas,” said Hunter Haley. “They facilitated the process efficiently and kept ongoing communication throughout. I recommend BoeFly to other franchisees seeking business financing.”
For Playa Bowls, the ability of BoeFly to support franchisees at different stages of ownership continues to be an asset as the brand scales nationwide.
“The success of our franchise owners is key to Playa Bowls’ continued success as a rapidly-growing brand, and a smooth financing process plays a critical role in that journey,” said Playa Bowls Chief Development Officer Jayson Tipp. “BoeFly has proven to be a valuable resource for our franchise owners, particularly when navigating more complex financing, such as securing an SBA startup loan for a second location while a first location is still in development.”
“Their team helped streamline the funding process for Hunter and Kelti, allowing them to move forward with confidence on their Glade Parks, Euless location. We appreciate how the support of BoeFly helps remove barriers in the financing process and supports our continued expansion.”
“Expanding from a first to a second location is a pivotal step for franchise owners, and it often comes with additional financial complexity,” said BoeFly CEO Mike Rozman. “Hunter and Kelti’s growth with Playa Bowls is a great example of how the right financing strategy and the right partners can help franchisees scale successfully. We’re proud to support them as they continue building their business.”
