Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. However, these businesses often struggle to secure the funding they need to grow and expand. This workshop aims to provide attendees with an overview of the available funding options at various business lifecycles and how these options can help their business grow.

This workshop is designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and individuals who are seeking finance to grow their business. If you fall into one of these categories, this workshop will help you explore ways to reduce finance costs and emotional stress or improve your financial management.

In this workshop, Access to Finance Advisor Judy Hendricks will cover key funding options in seed, start-up, growth, maturity, renewal/decline stage of the business life cycles and the costs and benefits of each funding option so you can make informed decisions based on your business goals and financial situation.
