ECDI

We’re incredibly grateful to Flagstar Bank for their support of ECDI’s mission to expand access to capital across Northern Ohio. 💙

Through a $50,000 investment in our loan fund, we are helping more small business owners access flexible financing, along with the guidance, technical assistance, and connections they need to grow and succeed. In partnership with the WBC of Northern Ohio, we’re working to ensure more low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs have the resources to build sustainable businesses.

Thank you, Flagstar, for believing in our entrepreneurs and investing in stronger small businesses and communities across our region.

Most small business owners think offering employee benefits is all-or-nothing—either full health insurance or nothing at all.
But that’s not the whole picture.

Join us this Tuesday for a practical, no-pressure conversation on what’s actually possible: Employee Benefit Options for Small Businesses

📅 June 9
🕚 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
💻 Online

You’ll learn:
• What supplemental benefits really are (and how they differ from health insurance)
• How they can support your team when life happens
• Whether they make sense for your business and budget

Led by Melanie Porter, who brings real-world insight from both the legal world and small business ownership—she understands the balancing act because she’s lived it.

If you’ve been wanting to do more for your employees but weren’t sure where to start, this is a great place to begin.
