Start Up Week: Funding Your Startup Without Investors

If you’re planning to start a business, or expand an existing business, chances are you are in need of financial help. This is the start up week seminar you need to attend if you have the following questions:

–       Who is lending today to the Pikes Peak Region small businesses?

–       What are lenders looking for?

–       When will money be available?

–       I’m hurting and need cash now…but how do I get money when I’m not making any yet?

–       Where do I get help to produce a growth plan and a loan package?

–      Should I go to a bank, micro lender or credit institution?

–      I’ve heard a bit about crowd funding, what the latest and how do I find out more about the various platforms?

Additionally, come and hear from our entrepreneurs represented on the panel about how they got started!
