If you have several credit cards, personal loans, or other debts, a debt consolidation loan, home equity loan, or a credit card balance transfer with one monthly payment can help manage your debt and lower your overall monthly payment. It can be a good idea if you qualify for a lower interest rate. Combining multiple debts into a single loan can make it easier to manage, but there are a few risks to consider. It is crucial that you understand each loan option for debt consolidation before you act. Be aware of the pros and cons of debt consolidation and how to set goals to become debt-free.

With a background in kinesiology and an interest in improving the health of others, Michael Etheridge was inspired to open DexaFit. Located in Round Rock, TX, DexaFit offers DEXA scans that give insight into skeletal health, muscle mass, body fat, and visceral fat. 

“Originally the DEXA scan was made for measuring bone health,” said Michael. “But then they realized it showed the entire body composition.” DEXA scans provide a comprehensive look into subcutaneous fat, visceral fat percentage, muscle mass percentage, as well as bone density. 

The scan takes only a few minutes and the test results are shared immediately. The detailed, in-depth report is used to customize wellness strategies and gives an evaluation of potential disease risks, like heart disease and diabetes.

“Texell was kind enough to give me a loan,” Michael said. He visited Texell’s Georgetown branch and, with help from Business Officer Andy Bush, he secured an SBA loan to fund his business.
