* How do you locate the "right" financing to start a company or grow your small business?
* How do you identify who to approach for assistance in the funding process and who is likely to provide funding to you?
* How do you prepare and what do you say to a financier to get them interested to work with you?
Join us for a panel discussion of experts and early stage small business funding providers, who will give you information to help you choose the best options to help you successfully secure financing. This panel will help you to address sources of capital specific to start-ups and early stage businesses, including crowdfunding, microloans, community advantage loans and other programs.
Time will be provided for Q&A and to meet the panelists at the end of the program.
