CGF Presents to 60 Daycare Providers
Andy Posner chats with members of the audience
On Saturday, February 6, Director Andy Posner and Loan Officer Sara Azout presented CGF’s products and services to a group of 60 low and moderate-income daycare providers at Ready to Learn Providence. The audience consisted of 60 female entrepreneurs, all of whom have their own daycare businesses throughout Rhode Island. As such, it was a perfect group to tell about CGF’s business loans and business workshops. In addition, many of the audience members were intrigued by CGF’s green credit builder loan, as they well understand the importance of having a solid credit score.
Andy and Sara not only walked away from the meeting with a large list of people who had written down their contact information so as to apply for loans and workshops, but also with a better understanding of the needs and concerns of CGF’s target market. For example, they received many questions pertaining to whether or not the interest rate on the loans is variable; whether collateral is required, and so on. Of course, the interest rate is not variable and CGf does not ask for collateral, but these questions emphasized the importance of making that fact abundantly clear. In short, CGF is thrilled to be reaching out so effectively to the community and homing in on exactly the people that stand to benefit most from what it has to offer.
