Re: Upcoming SBA Roundtable

The Thurston County Chamber will be hosting a free seminar on "How to Obtain U.S. Small Business Administration Loans," conducted by Roger Hopkins from the Seattle SBA District Office.

Get answers to questions such as:

• How does the SBA loan program work?

• What are the eligibility and credit requirements?

• Can loan proceeds be used to consolidate debt or help with cash flow or buy a building? 

• What are lenders looking for when approving loans?

• Who can help with a business plan or a loan proposal?

• Besides SBA loans, what other financing options are available?

To participate, contact the Chamber at 360.357.3362, or email info@thurstonchamber.com, as reservations are required.
