Financial Forum Series 1: Lending and Financing Your Small Business

So you want to start a business, but need financing.  You hear the news and reports that banks are in crisis, the economy is bad, and that nobody is lending money anymore.  Other people tell you that you can get a grant to start your business.

The WBCC Financial Forum separates fact from fiction.  Hear direct from a variety of experts as to current programs, the realities of financing your business, and how to prepare yourself and qualify as a candidate.  Find out the real scoop direct from those in the know.
