Thinking of Starting a Business?

 

Already Have a Business?

 

HOW IS YOUR CREDIT?

 

 

Even if you dont' need business funding now, chances are you will at some point. When you do, your credit score will have a role in whether you get it and how much it costs you.

 

MBDP can help you prepare for that moment. We now offer a secured credit card and are prepared to teach you how to safely and effectively build your score.

 

And while you are helping your business, you will be helping yourself to:

 

Rent an apartment

Buy a car on good terms

Obtain affordable insurances

etc.

 

It's all about the

credit score.

 

For info about the card, call Gillian at 860-1417 X 113 or email gfranks@cvoeo.org
