Small Business Majority to Host Free Webinars Educating Small Businesses About How to Access Credit, Loans
Series of webinars being held August 22-25 to focus on how small businesses can get the loans they need to grow, stimulate the economy
New York, NY, August 18, 2011: The economy is struggling more than ever, but small businesses that could help pull us out of the economic doldrums are finding it extremely difficult to obtain the credit they need to grow. Small Business Majority is holding free educational webinars to show small businesses how they can get the loans they need to survive and thrive.
The series, held August 22-25, features webinars broken down by region and state.
These one-hour events will cover a variety of topics including how small business owners can get traditional bank loans, what federal or state programs might be beneficial for them and some long-term policy solutions that could ensure small businesses get the credit they need in the future.
A question and answer period will follow the educational portion of the events.
Small businesses traditionally lead the way out of recessions, but banks aren't lending to them and they've been unable to play their role as our country's job generators when we need them the most, said Ben Geyerhahn, director of special projects for Small Business Majority. We're holding these webinars to help small businesses get the credit they need to so they can help jumpstart our flagging economy.
