ColaGroup is focused on helping communities profit by providing strategies and tools that will assist in repairing the harm caused by the targeted criminalization of cannabis. Our Expungement, Financial Literacy, Career and Business development platform (EFCB) is designed to assist communities ravished by the war on drugs. We believe EFCB provides a strong foundation to the community, As individuals leverage the EFCB model, a stronger community ecosystem will be built. Below is a more detailed look at the ColaGroup EFCB process.
Expungement
Provide knowledge, access to lawyers and a roadmap to assist individuals who need to navigate the State of Illinois cannabis related expungement process.
Financial Literacy & Credit Awareness
Assist individuals with strategies on improving their credit and teach the community members how to migrate from sub-prime to prime credit markets for homes, business loans, cars, and lines of credit.
Careers in the Cannabis Industry
Provide professional development on how to develop a career in the cannabis industry, have educational sessions that give access to information on certifications and provide the training needed for a successful career.
Business creation
Assist community members with potential ancillary business development acumen around cannabis. Provide guidance to start business in areas such as health-food stores, transportation, smoking lounges and paraphernalia sales.
Last, ColaGroup understands it is not just stating the EFCB foundation, It is communicating it in a manner which the community can understand and benefit from. ColaGroup and the EFCB model provides the “boots on the ground “ real-talk communication, that will assist in building a sustainable Community-first Platform for success.
