Join us on Wednesday, September 28, 2016, between 8:00am to 4:00pm at the College of San Mateo, located at 1700 West Hillsdale Blvd., College Center Building 10, Bayview Dining Room, San Mateo, CA 94402 for our "Access to Capital" workshop, expert panel and resource fair event.
The San Mateo Small Business Development Center and ten different San Mateo County Chambers of Commerce are coming together to bring you this event to learn more about how to access capital for your business regardless of the size and network with other business owners.
Small business owners continually indicate that one major obstacle to entry or expansion of their business is the availability of sufficient capital to support their working capital and fixed asset requirements. Lack of capital is one of the primary reasons that businesses fail, while access to capital has a positive and significant effect on small business revenue growth, revenue levels and number of employees.
The stats are undeniable. Small businesses represent 99.7% of all employer firms, employ just over half of all private sector employees, pay 44% of total U.S. private payroll, and have generated 64% of net new jobs over the past 15 years. Clearly the health of small business is critical to the U.S. and local economy.
The workshop will include remarks from Elizabeth Laderman, Senior Economic Outreach Economist from the San Francisco Federal Reserve and Mark Quinn, Director of the SBA San Francisco District Office. There will also be four panel discussions on "Traditional Sources of Capital", "Emerging and Alternative Sources of Capital", "Global Access: Export Financing and Services" and "Pre-IPO Funding, Seed Capital, Angel Investors, Venture Capital and Growth Equity".
Finally, throughout the day there will be a resource fair where attendees will be able to interface with resource providers regarding products and services to help your business growth and capital.
