If building a business feels overwhelming, this is for you.

/

Dear Friend, 

Starting a business often looks exciting from the outside. On the inside, it can feel confusing, isolating, and expensive to figure out.

Many entrepreneurs are trying to answer questions like:

- Am I pricing this right?
- Where do I find customers?
- What resources actually apply to me?
- How do I grow without risking everything I’ve built?

Too often, the hardest part isn’t the work. It’s knowing where to turn for clear, practical guidance. That’s why Thrive Community Lending is hosting a free virtual session designed to help entrepreneurs access tools, training, and support they can use immediately. 

Thrive Business Boost Series:
 March 3, 2026
 7:00–8:30 PM ET
 Live on Zoom

RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE

During this live session, participants will be introduced to the no-cost VERIZON DIGITAL READY business learning platform created to support entrepreneurs at every stage. From early ideas to growth and stabilization. 

Participants will gain access to:

  • Self-paced business courses and practical tools 

  • Live trainings and and opportunities to connect with other entrepreneurs 

  • Information about resources that may lead to grants or incentives 

This session is designed to be practical, accessible, and immediately useful. No surprise costs. Just real support for real business challenges.

If you know someone working to start or grow a business, we hope you’ll share this invitation with them. There will also be incentives and door prizes for participants who attend live.

And if you’re interested in partnering with Thrive to expand economic opportunity in our communities, we would welcome that conversation as well.

Thank you for being part of a community committed to helping entrepreneurs move from uncertainty to stability.


Warmly, 

John Arnold
