Accessing capital is challenging for everyone, and more so for the small businesses that are the lifeblood of our communities. Time in business, credit history, and collateral all create barriers on top of the challenges that all businesses face. Microlending for small businesses is not new, but the solutions and collaborations to deploy more capital to communities is evolving rapidly. This session will explore what’s happening and how both communities and entrepreneurs can leverage it for growth.
