The Pace University Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the US Small Business Administration (SBA) New York District Office will host a free small business financing panel & networking session for existing small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs to provide practical strategies to finance their small businesses. The forum will include two panels featuring financial institutions and alternative small business lenders, who will highlight what they look for when evaluating a loan application, typical loan terms, and the documents needed to apply. This panel will also include an in person opportunity to meet one-on-one with lenders to assess the source of capital that is best suited for their business needs.
