Details
During this Delta Communities meeting, we will explore the complex and evolving resources in the field of small-business financing.
Small businesses represent a significant portion of the local economy, but how can communities create economic growth through entrepreneurship? How can the Delta region advance small-business development?
Meet representatives from local institutions that are engaged in supporting entrepreneurs and startups, lending to small businesses, and assisting with small-business growth and expansion. Participants will also see a demonstration of new interactive data tools created by the St Louis Fed that may provide insight on small-business financing.
Participation in this event is free; however, registration is required by Monday, June 11, as space is limited. Lunch will be provided.
