April/May Success Story of the Month:

The Spaulding Agency

The Spaulding Agency is a full-service design consultancy specializing in branding development, interactive and visual design.   The Spaulding Agency will celebrate 14 years in business this month. Spaulding was moved to create her own business while working in the corporate sector in marketing and public relations for a major healthcare company in Durham, North Carolina. She helped produce a bi-weekly newsletter for over 2,000 employees and found herself more drawn to the look and feel, more than interviewing and writing the content that went into the publication. She was able to produce a publication that employees enjoyed and relied on before being able to get information online.

Straight Talk: Business Credit & Financing May 9, 2013

Business Credit and Financing is an interactive workshop that teaches business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs how to prepare their companies to establish business credit and secure business financing. First, participants take a self-evaluation to determine if they are ready to borrow and how much money they need.

Then they learn the difference between business and personal credit; the steps required to establish business credit; tips to improve personal credit; and how to write a successful financing proposal.
