Hello, I’m LaShawn Blanchard — focused on funding, coaching, and education to empower individual clients to maximize their business.

I understand the frustration of being denied funding by big banks or having to use your personal credit for business debt.

This mostly happens due to a lack of business credit history, or a lack of financial education.

No worries, I got you…

I’ve helped hundreds of small business owners just like you secure the capital they need to run their business without worrying.

Thank you for providing a financial literacy class to our True Beauty Salon Stylists. The in-depth explanation of budgeting and how it relates to everyday life was very beneficial to how business should be conducted. I was able to uncover areas needing improvements. I look forward to working with you in the future

LaShawn, The Credit Maven, was knowledgeable, courteous and very helpful. She helped me restore my credit and taught me about my finances. I was worried when I went to purchase a house, I would fall back into old habits and struggle again with my credit. But she guided me on the do’s and don’ts and now 2 years Later, my credit score is still over 700!

At the beginning of 2021 with everything going I realized how important credit was going to be moving forward. I really needed to do something to improve mine. Like most of us I took to social media and begin looking. I found several different people who made claims to improve your credit and even sign up for one of them for a small fee. With my research I found out that some of results were temporary and could be place back on your report later. Then I came across Credit Maven Services, this was my former Professor in college someone I knew and talked to about just about everything. I reached out to her to find out what she had been up to and how and why she got involved in this business. In that conversation she express the same passion she had for teaching, but now she just in different field. We began our journey on repairing my credit. In 8 months there has been a significant improvement in credit score and that goes to all her advice and help. In my line of work one the biggest keys to success is trust and do people believe in your purpose. In today market there are a lot of people who have claimed success because of monetary gains and analytical numbers, but believing and trusting someone is more valuable than the numbers. A honest conversation, realistic approach and accountability leads to success that last longer than any quick fix or numbers someone can put in front you. Her services and abilities I trust and believe in her purpose. She has a ton of information and different ways of helping anyone improve on their life no matter the obstacle or task. I am committed to Credit Maven because they are committed to my success.

The Credit Maven Financial Strategists are Amazing! I reached out to LaShawn about a few financial issues my husband and I were having after he was laid off and I was in a car accident that totaled my car. So, we were in need of a new car loan with less income and lower credit scores! She helped me come up with some strategies that absolutely worked out in our favor. I also signed up for their credit repair service and in less than 6 months, all 3 of my credit scores have increased from poor and fair to Good and Great! I have a new car with a low interest rate and knowledge to pass on. If you don’t know a “Maven” is someone who is knowledgeable and has great understanding – LaShawn definitely exemplifies every meaning of the word!

Lashawn Sharese Cooper Blanchard is an exceptional lady and a force to be reckoned with. I met her through a realtor I knew and I needed to get a copy of a judgement letter and I also had some credit issues at the time. I never would have thought when I met Lashawn that I would get someone who would go that extra mile to care. I was hitting one brick wall after another yet Lashawn somehow would find that light at the end of the tunnel. The most important part of each encounter is that she would listen. I’m very long-winded and I would often tell her, look if this conversation is getting too long, just cut me off and keep me on track. Often times the stress of my son’s and parent’s passing’s, my encounters would be long dark and stressful, yet again she was very prayerful, confident and always reminding me that there were better days ahead. She made me realize that there were others much worse off and if I would thank God right where I am that through prayer and stick-to-it, that God had this issue fixed. She also made me realize that some things may be delayed but not denied. I thank God for her, simply because years later, I’m approved for a home and it’s because of applying these principles she gave to my everyday living that I have received good success in my efforts. She has been a Shero that’s truly a blessing to this community and everywhere she goes. I’m encouraged by our hours of pep talks and words that inspired empowered, enriched and encouraged my life. Lashawn has so much kindness and concern for clients and often times businesses and staff is only concerned about resolving your issue getting paid and then until next time. However, Lashawn has a passion for the needs of people on and off the job. I’m really grateful for having met her, truly she has given me a brighter outlook on many life issues as well as financial fulfilment.
