WORKSHOP
FUNDING YOUR BUSINESS: WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?
WHEN: Thursday, Nov. 11, 5 – 6 p.m.
WHERE: The Hannah Grimes Center, 25 Roxbury St., Keene
WHAT: Are you confused about all the options out there for funding your business? One of the biggest challenges in starting a business is finding the capital to get started — or trying to find out if you need any in the first place. Some think the best way is to go it alone and build something from nothing. Some want to leverage other people’s money through loans or investments. Some know they need money but they don’t know how much or where to look for it. In this introductory workshop, you’ll learn the initial financial assessment that every business needs
to do, and look into sources of operating capital with the related
advantages and disadvantages of each. Come with your questions for a
discussion and overview of the options.
