Baltimore-Based Franchisor Receives Preferred Financing Options

BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwire - Nov 1, 2011) - Kiddie Academy Domestic Franchising is pleased to announce its continued small business financing relationship with TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®.

Over the last ten years, Kiddie Academy has obtained $20 million in U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans with a zero-default rate. This stellar track record has helped Kiddie Academy obtain new TD Bank financing with a favorable loan term and interest rate.

"We are excited about this new relationship and believe it is a testament to our processes and our franchise system. We've been working with TD Bank for many years and have been pleased with the loan packages and service they've been able to provide to our franchisees," said Susan Wise, CFO and COO for Kiddie Academy.

This comes on the heels of a recent deal with Kiddie Academy franchisee, Henry Emezie, who just opened his location in Charlotte, North Carolina. "When I decided to open a Kiddie Academy franchise, TD Bank was willing to work with me on loan options and provided support that other financers did not," says Emezie. "Kiddie Academy's financial team was with me every step of the way. I'm thrilled to be a part of the organization, and I am impressed with my experience with TD Bank."

"TD Bank is ecstatic to continue our relationship with Kiddie Academy, a leading childcare provider with an important emphasis on guiding young children towards a brighter future," says Terry Kenny, Metro D.C. Market President, TD Bank. "We're committed to helping local small businesses achieve their business growth goals, and it's an honor to provide the resources necessary for Kiddie Academy to deliver exceptional childcare service in our communities."
