Saint Vincent College Small Business Development Center will host a forum on alternative financing on Friday, November 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on campus.

As traditional lending sources continue to tighten their credit standards, entrepreneurs are finding it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to secure much-needed capital. This forum brings together lending professionals from numerous non-profit, private sector and government agencies dedicated to making capital available to grow business ventures. Experienced financing representatives will provide an overview of each organization’s financing programs and lending preferences. They will also be available to meet individually after lunch. As our economy recovers, small business is likely to lead the way out of recession. This will require capital. The SBDC strongly encourages any small business seeking growth capital to attend.

Alternative Financing Forum is co-sponsored and subsidized by the Westmoreland and Fayette-Washington Keystone Innovation Zones (KIZ).

Saint Vincent College Small Business Development Center is part of a statewide system of university-based economic development organizations, whose mission is to provide high quality education and consulting to entrepreneurs to help them start and grow their businesses in the competitive global economy.
