The Tennessee Small Business Development Center at Tennessee Tech University will conduct a free seminar on Aug. 17 entitled “Small Business Loans – Ask the Lenders.”
Does your small business need to borrow money? Are you confused by media reports about small business lending? Do you have questions but don’t know who to ask? This seminar targets small business owners interested in information about potential sources of capital for their businesses.
The seminar will be presented by Tim Brew of Areawide Development Corp., a non-profit certified development company, and Fred Crispin with Borrego Springs Bank, an SBA lender focusing on the Community Express Loan. Topics will include SBA Community Express Loans and the SBA 504 program, borrower and project eligibility requirements, loan features, interest rates, and the application process. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation.
The seminar will be conducted from 4 to 6 p.m. on Aug. 17 in TTU’s College of Business, 1105 N. Peachtree St., Johnson Hall, Room 102 (McLamore Conference Room).
