Title: "New Opportunities for Local Start-up & Expansion Financing"
Presented by:
Christopher Klesmith, Neighborhood Planner & Economic Development Specialist
City of Stevens Point
AND
Thomas Fish, Director of Finance
Redevelopment Resources
About the Program: Capital is the bloodline of any business operation. When businesses are starting up or looking to grow, sources of capital can be elusive or growth-prohibitive. 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.
Key Points of the Program:
-- Learn about local alternative sources of capital available to you and your business for start-up, updates, or expansion.
-- Acquire resources to help prepare applications for these sources.
-- Not looking for financing? No problem! Find out how you can support local businesses through Kiva and CWED.
What is Business X-Change? Allows business owners and their employees the opportunity to discuss pertinent topics, learn from local industry leaders and, most importantly, learn from each other. Business X-Change meets regularly throughout the year from 7:30 - 8:30am.
Special THANK YOU to City of Stevens Point for their sponsorship of this program.
