QUESTIONSQuestions about
Questions about
Ignite and Spark.
Is it really no cost to my business?
Yes, for the work Ignite approves. Ignite CDFI pays Palaeli Studio directly for those services, so your business does not pay for them. Anything outside that scope would be quoted separately, and only if you ask for it.
Who qualifies for the Spark program?
Spark is for for-profit small businesses, especially new and early-stage ones, in the Pennsylvania counties Ignite serves. Nonprofits are not eligible. Ignite CDFI makes the final decision on every application.
Which counties does Ignite serve?
Ignite currently lists Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Lebanon, Montgomery and Perry counties in Pennsylvania. Businesses in other counties may be referred to a partner organization.
Can I ask to work with Palaeli Studio?
Yes. On the Spark application you can say you would like to work with Palaeli Studio. Ignite then sets up a short call with us so everyone can confirm it is a good fit.
What happens when the program work is done?
Your website, brand files and accounts belong to your business. If you want ongoing care or marketing after that, we can talk about it, but there is no obligation to continue with us.
Do you work in Spanish?
Yes. Our team works in English and Spanish, from the first conversation to the content we create for your business.
Can I hire Palaeli Studio without going through Ignite?
Yes. Spark is one way to start. If your business does not qualify, or you prefer to work with us directly, contact us and we will outline a practical next step.
