FINANCIAL COUNSELING

Balance

TWO WAYS TO OBTAIN FINANCIAL COUNSELING, BOTH FREE!

Our goal is to give you the tools necessary for you to become financially self-sufficient. Our hope is that these services will assist you in any way possible to meet your financial goals.

1. We partner with BALANCE, a confidential financial counseling and education service. This service, available by phone (and with many online tools as well), is FREE to our members!

2. Sometimes a friendly face makes discussing finances easier. You might choose to contact Alternatives' Financial Counselor instead of calling BALANCE because our Counselor:

  • is well acquainted with Alternatives' products and services and would be able to advise which of our services might help you find your way to financial fitness;
  • has knowledge of local community services to direct you to for assistance with financial matters;

    can help you:
    — determine financial goals
    — develop spending plans
    — help with credit repair
    — help with credit choices

Appointments can be made Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM by e-mailing Brendan Wilbur or calling him at 216-3445.

Robert Berkley, Your Daily Soup

A few years ago, Robert took a realistic look at business growth and decided he needed a financial boost for expansion. He owns his home, free and clear, and decided a Home Improvement Loan was a good choice to get the funds he needed. "I had to get all new kitchen appliances; everything from a stove to a microwave- and a new roof also."

"Alternatives made it so easy- I felt like they answered my questions before I even asked them." Robert says of his experience. "I was already in a good place with my business. I just needed to get to the next level. Without the loan from Alternatives I couldn't have done it. I was able to make the home improvements I needed, and have money to buy the necessary equipment to expand my business to include ice cream and sorbet."
