Let’s Work Together For Your Clients' Success
Partnering With Community Futures Grows A Prosperous Small Business Community
We know that it can be frustrating when an enthusiastic entrepreneur comes in, has a great business idea, however, the business can't get the funding they need to get started.
When a financial institution’s business lending policies don't allow for a prospective client to receive a lending product, we want to partner with you to ensure their success and help bridge that gap.
We do so by:
Helping them build a solid business plan by planning for the best case, average and worst case scenarios
Creating a marketing plan or expansion strategy
Providing one-on-one coaching, business consulting and mentoring
Securing financing
Partnering with us helps create community growth, jobs and economic diversification in the Wild Rose region.
