DALLAS (August 10, 2023) – Youth enrichment platform Unleashed Brands has coordinated several strategic funding relationships totaling more than $100M with national commercial banks that are creating SBA lending programs specifically for new Unleashed Brands’ franchisees throughout the country.

Primary brands being targeted under the new program are brick-and-mortar concepts Urban Air Adventure Park and The Little Gym, where the lenders are committing a large portion of their available SBA funds to Unleashed Brands’ concepts.

“Having dedicated lenders looking to deploy capital for our future franchisees is incredibly exciting and speaks volumes to the financial stability of our brands,” said Eric Schechterman, Vice President of Franchise Finance for Unleashed Brands. “Because of our franchisee’s track record of success and loan performance, we have been able to partner with banks that want to lend to our owners and help grow our brands.”
