    Salt Lake City (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

    Lendio, a free online service helping business owners secure business financing, announced today the addition of Greg Butterfield of SageCreek Partners to its board of directors.

    “This move solidifies an already strong board that is helping business owners across America receive the business financing they need,” said Brock Blake, Lendio co-founder and CEO. “Butterfield’s broad experience will be key in helping, not only our success, but small businesses across the country receive more capital.”

    Butterfield is the founder and managing partner of SageCreek Partners, where he helps companies with their go-to market, recruiting, finance and business development initiatives.

    In the last year, business owners have requested more than $3 billion in funds through Lendio’s online platform. And loan approval rates are about 50-70 percent higher than the national average.

    “Lendio is doing some exciting things to help small businesses secure financing even in a slow economy,” Butterfield said. “I’m excited to do my part to help Lendio, and look forward to helping them build upon the success they have already had.”
