DOES YOUR START-UP OR EXISTING SMALL BUSINESS NEED A QUICK LOAN FOR INVENTORY, EQUIPMENT, ADVERTISING OR WORKING CAPITAL?
If so, you should attend one of the upcoming FREE SBA Community Express and Patriot Express Loan Workshops scheduled near you!
Entrepreneurs looking to secure a small business loan up to $50,000 will learn step-by-step how to apply for SBA’s highly touted Community Express program which requires NO collateral and NO tax documents. Even better, approvals are made within days and businesses may receive funding as quickly as two weeks after approval! Most for-profit full-time, part-time and home-based businesses are eligible.
Attendees will also learn of SBA’s Patriot Express Loan program for veterans, service-disabled veterans, reservists, National Guard members, and the spouse or widowed spouse of the aforementioned that want to establish or expand a small business.
Lastly, SBA resource partners and other business assistance organizations will be available to discuss their services designed to help novice entrepreneurs start their business the right way or experienced business owners adapt to grow and succeed during these tough economic times. All of the services provided by these organizations are available at NO COST.
