Community Futures Highwood is the reason my business is where it is today. I can’t even begin to express how much this group of amazing people has helped me. Starting with helping me write a Business Plan, teaching me how to Instagram and helping me get a loan. The staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient. This is an amazing resource! I’m so grateful I’ve gotten to access this!

There are so many great resources through Community Futures Highwood. I've been involved in a few programs here including SmartStart and the Digital Service Squad. Utilizing some of the free resources like the Digital Service Squad has been so helpful to better understand and improve my website, social media, and digital marketing. Natasha was able to cater what we worked on to what my business needed and I noticed improved online activity when implementing the changes we went through after each session.

The staff at Community Futures were critical to the success of my business' first year, and to our ongoing growth and sustainability. Their advisory services alone have helped me immensely, and their funding support has allowed me to focus on building my business thoughtfully and strategically. Wonderful group!

The people at CFH were extremely helpful with my business start up. They helped me to build a better, more concise, business plan, including realistic financial projections. If fact, with their leadership I was able to get a business loan at a great rate.

They are a key reason as to why my new business will be successful. I recommend that anyone looking for help with their business, new or existing, call the people at Community Futures Highwood.

It's so nice to be able to get business help within your own community. Natasha has been helping me with my Social Media strategy as part of their Digital Service Squad project. This included a range of topics, including learning to work with Canva.
All their staff members are extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend checking out their services.

We are in the final stages of the initial application for our business loan through Community Futures Highwood (CFH), after several refusals from major banks. This process had until we met the team at CFH been somewhat of a challenging road. However, our dealing with CFH cleared the fog and the support and direction form Ursula and the team was simply amazing! Their experience, guidance and professionalism shines, and as a customer you are fully supported throughout the process. Whatever happens from this point will not detract from a great experience and education we received from CFH. Thank you for helping us try to realize our dreams and our new future.
