Raleigh, NC – Non-profit Consumer Education Services Inc. (CESI) has launched a Small Business Counseling Program to help business owners grow and professionalize their business instead of struggling to manage business debt. The counseling program will provide financial expertise, business action planning and guidance along with a resource network to support the business owner.

The Small Business Counseling Program features six  1-hour sequential coaching sessions over a 6-month period and will cover topics such as:

• Financial management
• Capital and credit
• Understanding business plans
• Tools for protecting your business
• Business financial statements and cash flow
• Maintaining business credit and more. 

Each small business owner will be paired with a
Coach to help them over the course of the six month program.

 “We look forward to partnering with business
owners one-on-one to enhance their financial security” said Mike Croxson, CEO
of CESI. “We believe that this program is a perfect opportunity to leverage our expertise in education and
counseling services to meet the financial needs of the business community.

This
effort is part of an ongoing initiative that CESI has undertaken to eliminate
barriers to financial security and asset building opportunities

CESI launched the Community Loan Center
of the NC Triangle in 2018 to provide employers in our local
community with financial wellness programs and small dollar loans for employees
that would benefit from credit counseling and coaching services to help address
their personal financial situation. CESI continues to add programs and services
to enhance traditional credit counseling with financial inclusion to promote
financial inclusion.
