Tue, 1/26 Growing Your Small Business

Crain's Online Finance Seminar

Whether you're starting a small business or expanding to seize new opportunities, your business needs the right financing at the right time. It may seem that capital is hard to come by, but it's out there.

Hear from Judith Roussel, the District Director for Illinois, at the U.S. Small Business Administration, who will speak to opportunities for growth and financing that's available today and into 2010.

The seminar will cover these topics:
• Is this the right time to access credit to grow my small business?
• How to prepare your business for securing financing.
• Are the stimulus provisions affecting small businesses now that hundreds of banks have been lured back to the small business
lending arena?
• Will the ramp-up of President Obama's plan to boost loans for small companies, reinvigorate small business lending?
• Financing for start-ups and smaller businesses--those with generally little equity or collateral, and looking for smaller loans.

This 60-minute FREE online seminar includes audience Q&A with Judith Roussel.
