A key component of business growth is a reliable funding partner. Benetrends has a black belt in financing – and Code Ninjas growth is proof.
There are franchises that slowly increase their brand with a few new locations every year, and then there are the franchises that seemingly expand overnight.
Code Ninjas, named as one of Entrepreneur.com Magazine’s “2018 top trending franchises“, has done just that. Founded in 2016, the first location opened on March 20, 2017. They currently have more than 95 locations in development, including 46 franchisees in 21 states. The projection is to have 40 units open by March 2018.
So, how does a brand grow at such a rapid pace? There are several factors. Co-founder and CEO David Graham states that “Right People. Right Product. Right Time.” provided the strong foundation. He knew from the beginning that this would be a franchise concept, and created a curriculum specifically geared to helping franchisees in their business. Under the guidance of marketing “wizard”, Andy Giefer, they used Facebook and Google ads and word of mouth campaigns to promote the company.
But one more partnership has been paramount to the company’s success and growth. The credibility of the brand and growth success can be attributed to a simple, yet powerful phrase – “funding available”.
Enter the right funding partner – Benetrends Financial.
