Entrepreneurs, small business owners and lenders are invited to attend Lender Roundtable: Connecting Small Businesses with Capital on Wednesday, November 4, from 8:30–10:00 a.m. at the Ozarks Small Business Incubator (OzSBI) in West Plains.
Hosted in partnership with the Show-Me Network and OzSBI, this free event will bring together lenders, entrepreneurs and small business owners to explore financing options and connect with resources that help businesses prepare for and access capital.
Finding the right financing often requires exploring multiple options and connecting with the right resources. Lending partners, including AltCap, Justine PETERSEN, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), will join business resource partners OzSBI, Missouri SBDC at Missouri State – West Plains and the Show-Me Network. Together, they will discuss funding options, capital readiness, and resources available to help businesses access funding.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners will have the opportunity to learn about financing options, ask questions and connect directly with organizations that can help them take the next step in their business journey.
The roundtable will also provide lenders with an opportunity to learn about alternative financing programs, strengthen referral relationships and connect with regional partners who can assist borrowers whose financing needs may fall outside traditional lending options.
