Innovative Small Business Financing Sources through KivaZip: Free Presentation by LV SCORE
Please join Lehigh Valley SCORE for a free Roundtable presented by Kiva Zip, an Innovative Small Business Financing Source
"How can I get financing help for my small business?" is the most frequently asked question from SCORE clients. On Friday, February 26, 2106, the Lehigh Valley Chapter of SCORE will offer another in a series of free informal "Round Table" discussions on topics of interest to small business owners with this one focusing on Kiva Zip, an innovative source of small business financing developed by the Philadelphia Department fo Commerce (and, yes, they will lend to Lehigh Valley businesses).
The February Roundtable will be held in the conference room at Dunkin' Donuts, 3670 MacArthur Road, Whitehall, PA and run from 8:00 until 9:30 AM. Our subject matter expert will be Alyssa Thomas, the Manager of Kiva Zip Philadelphia. Alyssa joined the Department of Commerce in 2014 and has since been responsible for the funding of over 80 loans, injecting $350,000 in capital into the local economy. Our roundtables are offered at no charge, however, advance registration is required. Visit the Lehigh Valley SCORE website at www.lehighvalley.score.org to register or call Tracy Damiani at 610.2663000.
Roundtable discussions will be facilitated by a SCORE member. Our "subject matter expert" will offer brief introductory comments on the topic and then the session will be open to discussion and questions by the participants.
These roundtables will offer participants an excellent opportunity to meet other small business owners and developers and to gain valuable insight and information on a variety of topics relevant to small business.
While each participant will be given approximately 30 seconds to introduce themselves and may share their business card, participants may not distribute any type of marketing materials (brochures, pamphlets, etc.).
Registration is limited, so please contact us today!
