What's Distracting Us?

“Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what’s urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.” Stephen R.

Meridian is not a Financial Institution, it is a group of people that actually want to see their clients succeed. They understand that having healthy, well-run private businesses in a community is essential to its health and the well-being of the people who live there.

I've worked with great people at Meridian, they taught me so many things about business and have been there to help me every step of the way. When I first approached them to help me with my business acquisition, they spent a lot of time explaining the figures to me and helped me come up with a great plan. I couldn't have done it without them.

While the financial support was important, it was the long-term support and advice that proved most valuable. The wise advice from Vickie, Judy and Jeanette provided protection from errors that result in the closing of a business during the first two years. Their unique, professional services elevated my business to the next level. In my case from, “Lil’Daycare’ Family Day Home Group with 12 children to “Kinder Kollege Inc.” located at the Westberry Elementary School with 25 children. I was employed as director until I retired in 2014. Presently, I still sit on the Board while cooperating with CF Meridian.

I certainly would recommend business owners to work with Community Features because for “New Business Owners” what you get is not just financial support but moral support as well. CF will help you develop your business, creating more jobs and eventually developing your community.
