If your start-up or existing full-time, part-time or home-based small business
needs a quick loan of $5,000 to $25,000 for inventory, equipment, advertising,
or working capital, then you should attend one of the FREE SBA
CommunityExpress and Patriot Express Loan Conferences scheduled near you!
Attendees to these conferences receive step-by-step instructions on applying
for SBA’s highly touted CommunityExpress program which requires no collateral
and no tax documents. Even better, approvals are made within days and
businesses may receive funding as early as two weeks after approval!
Those present will also learn of SBA’s Patriot Express Loan program for
veterans, service-disabled veterans, reservists and National Guard members,
and the spouse or widowed spouse of the aforementioned that want to
establish or expand a small business.
Lastly, information on SBA resource partners and other business assistance
organizations to help small businesses succeed during these tough economic
times will be made available. Many of these services are available at no cost.
Space is limited, so register today for one of the events below!
