MDG recently had the opportunity to rebrand Benetrends, a company that’s provided proven and innovative funding solutions for entrepreneurs since 1983. Recognized as one of the most seasoned lenders to the franchise industry, Benetrends is acclaimed for its Rainmaker Plan, which enables small business owners to finance their companies by accessing their retirement funds.
To capitalize on their reputation as an innovative and trusted financial resource, MDG invested its time in a branding initiative to create a new logo and tagline, as well as communications geared to business brokers, franchisors, and franchisees.

“It was important to develop a brand and visual vocabulary that positioned Benetrends as an industry thought leader with more than just a “fund and done” focus. The logo needed to convey a sense of opportunity, and the tagline positions Benetrends as a trusted, long-term business partner,” said Michael Del Gigante, president and executive creative director of MDG Advertising.
“I am confident that the rebranding will be a strong platform for our new website and collateral materials,” said Dallas Kerley, chief development officer for Benetrends.
