Connecting Capital with Connecticut’s Small Businesses
The Business Lending Expos are a series of three events presented by Connecticut Small Business Development Center (CTSBDC) and the U.S. Small Business Administration Connecticut District Office (SBA). Each Expo brings lenders and small business owners together to turn funding needs into productive conversations. Lenders that have sponsored Business Lending Expos have met clients leading to loans of more than $3 million.
With multiple opportunities to engage, sponsors can build sustained awareness while supporting the businesses that drive Connecticut’s economy. Join us in connecting small businesses with the capital, knowledge, and relationships they need to move forward.
