The SBA Pacific Northwest Regional Office has teamed up with the Seattle, Tacoma and Portland chapters of the Urban League to connect Black-Owned Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs with the various financing options available through the SBA.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding economic crisis are devastating to Black-Owned Small Businesses and the communities they operate in, and they have been hit disproportionately hard because of the coronavirus pandemic. The SBA is committed to delivering equitable relief to hard-hit businesses so they can rehire and retain workers, safely reopen, and deliver the essential goods and services our communities depend on.
This 90-minute webinar will cover the following:
- An overview of SBA financing programs including Coronavirus Relief options — like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and Shuttered Venue Operators Grant — and traditional SBA lending programs — like the SBA Microloan, 7(a) and 504 loan programs.
- A facilitated panel of local lenders sharing tips and insight to help entrepreneurs gain access to capital.
- Messages from local Urban League leadership.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from lenders and get the information needed to successfully access capital for your small business.
Description:
Is your personal credit preventing you from growing your business?
Want to separate your social security number from business debt?
Need access to vendor accounts or business credit cards?
This workshop will help you separate yourself from your business by establishing credit using your EIN instead of your SSN with a simple formula that will help you gain access to capital. This workshop will also dispel some myths about personal credit to help you improve if strategically!
