Getting an SBA Microloan for Your Small Business

Wednesday, October 23, 2019:  1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Whether you are ready to launch a new business or expand an existing one, you'll likely need extra cash to make the move.

So, what now? Well, if the loan you're seeking is less than $50,000, you may want to consider a microloan.

Class covers:

  • Introduction to the Entrepreneur Fund: lending and services
  • Microloan overview and benefits
  • Preparing for business borrowing: assessing needs and best practices
  • Open Q&A for workshop participants
  • Opportunity for one-on-one questions with a PACE business advisor
