FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Financial Assistance can come in many forms, from technical assistance, to facade grants and small loans. We work with financial institutions, like banks, credit unions, and community development financial institutions to assist small businesses in their pursuit of financing. There are also State Agencies that offer assistance through small business programs. We will update this area as resources become available at the Local and State level.
