What We Do
Credit
Building
Credit scores matter. A good score gives the potential to take advantage of low-interest loans, credit cards, insurance premiums, or more easily rent a home. Low scores can make it difficult to access services that help increase capital. EO can help you understand your credit score and what it means to your buying-power through a free and quick assessment, and if you have room to improve, our Financial Health coaches will create an easy-to-follow plan to help build credit.
Business Education
and Workshops
We offer classes and workshops on budgeting, cash flow management, debt management, credit improvement, financial forecasting, marketing, and much more. Our mission is to empower both new and existing entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge to track, analyze, and make informed financial decisions. Financial literacy helps businesses navigate economic challenges, optimize resources for maximum profit, and plan for sustainable growth in the future.
Business Development
