Alternative Financing Options

A FORUM FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS

Friday, July 24th

9am-11am 

A financial workshop for small businesses or new start-ups seeking alternative finance options.

Businesses need access to capital to operate and grow their businesses. However, traditional loans are not always available nor are they necessarily the best source of funds for all businesses.

In this session, a panel of experts will discuss alternative means for gaining access to the financing your business needs to thrive and grow.
