Asset Builders, LLC provides a variety of services for our clients and
partners. Options available include, but are not limited to:
Corporate Office Space
Community Asset Builders, LLC will maintain a home office for
your organization. The benefits of a business/main office are numerous
– it provides stability for the organization and offers a central
location for the receipt of mail, phone calls, and faxes. Community Asset
Builders’ office will serve as your association’s office.
The most important benefit an organization can provide to its members
is stability. Many organizations transfer their headquarters as their
Directors rotate on and off the board - this results in loss of revenue,
low quality of customer service, confusion, etc. With Community Asset
Builders, LLC, your association can have a permanent address, a dedicated
phone number answered in the name of your organization, a dedicated fax
line, and dedicated email. If desired, the association may also have a
marquee. A permanent address can result in an improved perception of leadership,

Builders, LLC offers limited onsite storage of important historical records
and documents and can arrange for offsite storage for all of you electronic
