Financial Resources for Small Businesses
This event has been canceled
Do you need access to capital to support your business? The Appalachian Regional Commission, an Appalachian area economic development group, has granted The North Carolina Small Business Development Fund, Mountain BizWorks, and The Natural Capital Investment Fund, resources for an education campaign regarding Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) as available financial resources for small businesses in Western North Carolina. Most entrepreneurs are aware of bank financing options, the new online lending platforms, and seeking equity raised from friends and family. But for businesses in a start-up phase or located in an area without proper community banks finding financial options can be difficult in the post financial-crisis regulatory environment. CDFIs are specifically designed to work closely with borrowers throughout the process to implement financial strategies that work best for entrepreneurs. Quinn Coleman of the Conservation Fund will be presenting more information about funding through CDFIs.
