Bonnie Comella A Home Expansion Experience

Bonnie and her husband Mike came to Alternatives after researching their options for home expansion. "The Future Value Home Equity Line of Credit seemed to be just what we were looking for," Bonnie told us.

BUSINESS SERVICES

Over twenty years ago a group of small businesses wanted to expand and couldn't get capital from the banking system.

Alternatives Federal Credit Union was chartered to address that problem. It's stated directly in our Mission Statement: Alternatives provides "Capital investments in individuals, small business and non-profits." Serving small business, as well as non-profits, is promoting smart community development. Small businesses, especially start-ups, are engines of local economic development. Small businesses play a major role in job crea-tion in New York, creating 80% of all new jobs.

Most banks ignore businesses when they have less than a million dollars in annual sales. Small business or "micro-enterprise" lending is our specialty. Alternatives designs products and services to meet the needs of small businesses: retail, service, small manufacturers, home-based businesses, cooperatives, worker-owned businesses, non-profits and start-ups.
