If your goal is to own a small business, then the LES People’s Federal Credit Union will try to help you reach that goal. Elando, owner of Personal Style Optical, wanted to pursue engineering when he enrolled in a technical high school here in New York, after moving from the Caribbean. There was no room in the program, however, so he chose optics as a follow up field of study. So, after accruing many years of experience working in the optical field, not to mention his many years of study, Elando decided that it was his time to start his own business. One of the obstacles Elando faced was getting the expertise, guidance, and encouragement he needed to go ahead with his project, not to mention the actual loan. “People would tell me that it wasn’t possible and I would think, alright, but tell me why, tell me how to improve my business plan”, said Elando. The LES People’ Federal Credit Union furnished Elando with constructive criticism, business know how, and the start up-loan needed to begin “Personal Style Optical”. The LES People’s Federal Credit Union helps individuals like Elando turn a business idea into a workable, and successful, reality. <p>If your goal is to own a small business, then the LES People’s Federal Credit Union will try to help you reach that goal.</p> <p>Elando, owner of Personal Style Optical, wanted to pursue engineering when he enrolled in a technical high school here in New York, after moving from the Caribbean.
