Description
Access to capital is the number one impediment for all businesses which means that finding the right type of capital can be difficult and cumbersome. This panel will explore a broad spectrum of capital sources and outline how minority-owned firms can best leverage nontraditional methods of financing. The discussion will also introduce new approaches to alternative financing sources for growth, expansion and supply chain financing.
