This month, we’re thrilled to highlight one of our newer clients, Maritza and Jose Paniagua, proud owners of CoolVu of Raleigh Southwest. Fueled by their vision for a brighter future for their family, they became franchise owners earlier this year after months of dedicated research to find the perfect opportunity.
Maritza from CoolVu of Raleigh Southwest shares, “we specialize in transforming spaces in the Triangle and surrounding areas, with high-quality window films and finishes for homes and businesses. Our privacy and decorative films enhance aesthetics while maintaining seclusion, and our security films add an extra layer of protection. We also offer heat and glare films that boost energy efficiency and keep your space comfortable year-round. Plus, our custom graphic installations make a bold visual statement. With our solutions, you can improve comfort, security, and style all in one go!"
Maritza connected with the Women’s Business Center of NC to leverage resources and discover networking events organized by the center and within the local community to support her business growth. “I've loved getting to know the Women's Business Center of NC. They organize informative workshops that not only provide valuable resources but also create opportunities to network with other local small business owners and build meaningful partnerships,” Maritza explains. “Recently, I attended the Federal Contracting and Certifications workshop, which opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of serving the government. They brought in an expert who was not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly funny and engaging, making the learning experience enjoyable. I always look forward to their events because they truly understand the needs of women-owned small businesses.”
One quote Maritza holds dear is, "If nothing changes, then nothing changes." I often reflect on this when I’m pushing myself outside my comfort zone.
At the Women’s Business Center of North Carolina we are excited to have Maritza and her husband as our clients and excited to see their business journey continue to evolve.
