CFG is Educational Sponsor of Online Business Resource

CFG is excited to announce that we have been chosen as the leading expert on the topic of factoring for an online public resource community tailored to the interests and needs of small and medium-sized businesses.

The online community called BUZGate and located online at www.BUZGate.org provides focused, educational content covering important business topics, including factoring, and provides links to free entrepreneurial assistance programs nationwide. Visit http://www.buzgate.org/ga/ch_cfinance.html to access the CFG and factoring section of the site.

At CFG, we firmly believe that with better knowledge, small business owners will utilize factoring during those tough to finance times that most businesses find themselves in at some point during their early growth stages. We encourage you to refer your clients and prospects to the site to learn more about how factoring might be beneficial to them.

Business Support Resources

In addition to helping visitors brush up on the basics and value of factoring, the site offers access to a broad range of other business support resources helpful to anyone looking to start or grow a business. This includes material on creating a business plan, personal financial statement and financing proposal, as well as free local assistance programs in business counseling, marketing, funding, import/export and more. The site is easy to navigate and content is updated every day.

All of the information provided is free of charge and contact details are included to connect users to people or programs relative to their business interest or need. An excellent free download users may receive when they sign up (also for free) is a detailed workbook, Common Sense Cash Flow Management, that outlines specific steps every business should follow to maximize cash flow. A series of 11 additional workbooks on other core business management topics is also available to purchase for a reasonable fee. You can obtain a copy of the free workbook online or by contacting your local CFG business development officer, who will forward one to you.

Created by Entrepreneurs

The developers of the site, Dr. William Osgood and Deborah Osgood, are entrepreneurs themselves. They are recognized by the U.S. Small Business Administration and other business leaders as international experts in business development and education.

The Osgoods started BUZGate out of a converted storage closet in 2000. Today they serve more than one million members, offering access to more than 100,000 public assistance programs and connecting more than 80,000 businesses a month to find the help they need. In three clicks or less, BUZGate connects users to a wealth of entrepreneurial resources, hands-on information, and perhaps even some cash.

Please consider forwarding the BUZGate link to businesspeople who you think might benefit from the wealth of business knowledge and access to free assistance available on the site. They will surely be appreciative of the assistance, and you might even gain a new client in the process.

We would love to hear your feedback to the site itself and/or CFGs factoring educational content. We are continuing to refine, improve and expand this section for your benefit, so please check back periodically and let us know what is most useful for you.

Good luck in your hunt for new business. We welcome the opportunity to help you in any way that we can, including providing the resources available at http://www.buzgate.org/ga/ch_cfinance.html.
