Lunch & Learn: Access to Capital for Your Small Business

ROOM U-529 *Lunch Provided* Let's face it, small businesses still have a difficult time raising capital. For start-ups it is almost impossible, especially from traditional lending sources. This event will bring together traditional and non-traditional lending sources for business owners to meet and discuss how they can meet their capital needs. Join us (representatives from Sound Bank, The Small Business Administration, The Carolina Small Business Development Fund and the Small Business Center at CFCC) for lunch and explore capital access options for small businesses. We will answer these frequently asked questions: What can I use the money for? What if I have questionable credit? What are the loan application requirements? Learn about the many capital funding options that are available to small businesses in our area. The panelists will also discuss traditional, alternative, and entrepreneur forms of capital as well as options for women and minority owned businesses. FREE
