The South Side Entrepreneurial Connect Project: SSEA Monthly Meeting, Nov. 14, 4:30

This will be a very different South Side Entrepreneurs Association meeting. First, it will be held on a Wednesday (Nov. 14) and in the evening (4:30 - 7:30 p.m.). Second,this will be a trade show with tabletop displays from several traditional and non-traditional lenders. Participating lenders include:

CNY Regional Planning &Development Board
City of Syracuse Economic Development Office (EDO)
Key Bank
M&T Bank
Syracuse Cooperative Federal Credit Union

Several others have been invited, so it is likely that 8 - 10 financial institutions and others who help businesses find funding will be at this event.

Why should you come? In order to grow your business, you will need funding. You may be able to be self-funded, but likely you want some external funding. At this event, you will be able to talk to a variety of financial institutions in a comfortable environment.

Besides the trade show, at 5:30 p.m. there will be a speaker and discussion about Using Financing to Grow Your Business. At 6:30 p.m., there will be a short workshop on getting financing for your business.

Reservations are not required and all are welcome to attend. The cost of the event is $2.00 for SSEA members and $4.00 for non-members/guests.
