The proposed initiatives aim to bypass traditional lending bottlenecks that often stall franchise growth. According to Dr. Ben Litalien, Chief Development Officer at TruGolf Links, the company is building an equipment leasing program funded through a tokenized offering on the Polymath platform. This structure is designed to provide qualified candidates with the necessary capital to outfit their facilities while simultaneously exploring pathways for investors to participate in fractional ownership of specific locations.
TruGolf Links to Leverage Polymath Tech for Franchise Financing
TruGolf Links is turning to blockchain technology to solve a persistent hurdle in its expansion: franchisee access to capital. By integrating tools from its pending acquisition, Polymath Research, the golf simulator company plans to launch tokenized equipment leasing and fractional ownership models for new operators by early 2026.
Matt Andelman, head of business development at Polymath, noted that these programs are intended to support regional developers looking to scale markets rapidly. The success of this strategy hinges on the formal completion of TruGolf’s acquisition of the Canadian tech firm, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. If finalized, the project would represent one of the first implementations of a regulated, purpose-built blockchain for tokenized assets within the public franchise sector.
