Greetings! Platinum partner:Eastern Bank– Providing investment, lending and other financial products to small businesses and individuals. Silver partners:Watch All Pest Management - Integrated Pest
Management limiting the use of pesticides to effectively control pests. As the new Director of Business Development my mission is to grow our network. When the Network grows, we can offer you (our members) more opportunities for exposure and you know what that means for you: MORE BUSINESS! I challenge you to sponsor an upcoming event or become a partner with the Network. As Sponsor or Partner you can increase the visibility, credibility, and the public image of your business, while contributing to the impact SSWBN has in the area business community. Each month we will feature a "Partner piece". This
will be an informational segment from one of our partners that we can
all learn from. This month’s "partner piece" comes from Terry Narus of Eastern Bank – platinum partner. Tip from Terry: "The very best time to borrow for your business is when you don't need the funds. When your company (or you personally) is doing well, your financials are strong and may better warrant new credit. Putting a line of credit in place for your business makes financing new capital purchases or even working capital much easier, especially when you need a quick response." Terry is happy to walk you through the lending paper work, thus making the entire process very easy for the client. Terry Narus, Eastern Bank, T.Narus@EasternBk.com or 781-348-4944. Sincerely, Katie Howard P.S. I look forward to chatting with you specifically about your business and how the South Shore Women’s Business Network can offer you opportunities for growth. |
