Are you having trouble obtaining funding for your business? Do you want to strengthen your credit to grow your business?

The Grind coworking space and Small Business Majority invite you to join us for an interactive workshop about access to capital for small business owners and the self-employed.

Through a presentation and guided discussion, we will help you navigate the funding landscape focusing on microloans, crowdfunding, SBA-backed loans and reputable online lenders. We'll also discuss how you can strengthen your credit to start and grow your business.  
Topics of discussion include:

  • An overview of alternative lending options including community banks and credit unions, SBA's loan guarantee program, community development financial institutions, and reputable online lenders
  • The 5 Cs of credit
  • Key questions to consider when seeking funding
  • The Small Business Borrowers' Bill of Rights
  • Helpful tools and resources

The workshop will include a presentation, followed by an interactive panel discussion that will include microlenders and credit support technical assistance.
