Connecting Capital with Connecticut’s Small Businesses
The Small Business Lender Expos are a series of three events presented by the U.S. Small Business Administration Connecticut District Office (SBA) and the Connecticut Small Business Development Center (CTSBDC). Each Expo brings lenders and small business owners together to turn funding needs into productive conversations.
Whether you’re preparing to launch, grow, or invest in your business, a Small Business Lender Expo can help you explore your financing options and connect directly with potential lenders. Find an event near you and register when enrollment opens to start building the relationships that can move your business forward.
Final dates and locations may be subject to change.
