SUMMARY:PARO Prosper Peer Lending Circle Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Join PARO’s Regional Circle Coordinator – NS\, NB & PEI\, Jeannine Riant\, as she breaks down PARO Prosper Peer Lending Circles and the unique opportunity for access to funding and peer support this program offers. \nWhat is PARO Prosper Peer Lending Circles? \nPARO Prosper Peer Lending Circles are small groups of like-minded women who meet regularly to share their experiences and expand their individual networks of contacts. The Circles are 4 (four) to 7 (seven) women\, 18 (eighteen) and over\, who all run their own businesses\, want to start one\, or who believe that women can help women. PARO Prosper Lending Circles helps women connect and network with other enterprising women. Today\, the PARO Prosper Circles Program is the strongest Peer Lending program in North America. \nThere are many benefits to being a member of a PARO Prosper Circle\, including but not limited to: \n·   Access and share business knowledge \n·    Peer mentoring\, support and encouragement \n·    Access loans ranging from $1\,000 to $5\,000 \n·    Non-repayable portions of $500 to $1\,000 (if you meet the criteria) \n·     Access a range of perspectives and experiences \nOne of the key elements of a Prosper Lending Circle is that members also gain access to support and loans ranging from $1000 to $5\,000.
