Staff from the Central Wisconsin Economic Development Fund (CWED) and City of Stevens Point will share and discuss several capital resources that can reduce start-up and growth costs for Central Wisconsin businesses\, including CWED's new Start-Up Fund and Kiva lending\, that can reduce the strain on boot-strapped and locally funded businesses. If you are planning the launch of a new business\, these tools are meant for you.\n\n\n\nKey Points of the Program:\n\n-- Learn about local alternative sources of capital available to you and your business for start-up\, updates\, or expansion.\n\n-- Acquire resources to help prepare applications for these sources.\n\n-- Not looking for financing? No problem! Find out how you can support local businesses through Kiva and CWED.\n\n\n\nWhat is Business X-Change?
