BROWARD COUNTY, FL – By popular demand, Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief and the Office of Economic and Small Business Development have extended the Business Loan Seminar Series designed to increase awareness about the State of Florida’s loan programs for the benefit of small businesses. Three new seminars have been added starting on Saturday, August 9th, at 10:30AM at the Northwest Regional Library, 3151 University Drive in Coral Springs. (See complete schedule with dates, times and locations below.)
The original six seminars informed attendees about Florida’s participation in the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) and its two primary programs – the Florida Venture Capital Program and the Small Business Loan Support Program. The three new seminars will be conducted by subject matter experts and will focus on additional funding opportunities with presenters from the Hispanic Business Initiative Fund (HBIF) and MetroBroward Economic Development Corporation.
