College Funding Blueprint
College Funding Network (CFN) has created the trademarked "College Funding BlueprintTM" to help small business college families "build" their own unique college dream.
The BlueprintTM is a step-by-step analysis of the family's financial situation, the student's positioning with GPA and SAT scores, their target colleges, and the family's potential funding options - including the use of small business strategies. By using the BlueprintTM, the family knows what strategies are available and the potential cost now -- and in the future -- of using or not using them. This is essentially the "business plan" for college.
CFN functions as the project architect and engineer. We review the client's goals, evaluate their resources, and discuss their budget. We take all the available information into account and then design the steps and strategies necessary to build a successful program within those boundaries. The goal is to provide families with the data they need to make informed decisions about their college plans.
Why is this approach so critical for families and small business owners?
Far too many families make emotional decisions about college without real data about what they can and cannot realistically afford or do. Making a decision without knowing the long-range impact is a recipe for disaster. The advisors at CFN have seen far too many families allow their student to attend a college that is not right for the student and not within their budget. The emotional and financial toll can be devastating to both the parents and the student. And the emotional and financial stress can take its toll on the business as well!
Good news is families who use the BlueprintTM find they are in control of the college process and usually achieve their college goals easier than they thought! Most small business owners are surprised to learn about many strategies and solutions they have available to make the cost of college fit the boundaries they set OR to even stretch the boundaries to colleges they may not of even considered!
The BlueprintTM Process begins with a detailed questionnaire followed by an interview by a licensed financial advisor. Once the scope of the family and student's needs and resources are understood, the team at CFN creates a written report and a follow-up interview. At the conclusion of the follow-up interview, the family is free to implement the BlueprintTM.

One of the major advantages to using CFN's College Funding BlueprintTM approach is the family stays in control. Just like construction blueprints, the family can now take their "plans" to their current advisors, hire new advisors, or ask the CFN team to help them handle "construction" of their College Funding dream. The BlueprintTM is a neutral, no sales document that allows the family to decide who helps them on what portion of the plan.
If you are interested in a College Funding BlueprintTM for yourself as a small business family or if you are an advisor who needs one for a client family, simply go to Contact Us. Send CFN an eMail asking for a "Blueprint". Someone will contact you to explain the process and begin helping you build your college dream!
